Is this mushroom ready?
    #22460818 - 11/01/15 07:51 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

So I feel like everywhere I read for "when to harvest" I get different answers constantly. So I'm gonna post a pic of one of my mushrooms and I'm just looking for some opinions on if it's ready or what. In one post that I read,  RR said to pick before the cap starts to open and that's kind of the stage mine is at I think. I don't know, this is my first harvest so don't be afraid to hit me with information. The cake I'm gonna show has 2 solid sized mushies on it (they'll be in the pic) and 3 or 4 small pins (you'll see 2 of those in the picture) the cake I'm showing has been in the FC for 7 days, and this is the first flush. thankyou in advance for anyone that helps me.

I wouldn't pick those for almost two more days... it's all preference though... any time after the veil breaks and before spores drop is fine.

I don't see a pic but if the veil is starting to separate, the cap is opening and it has changed color from dark brown to orangey tan. It's ready.

I see the pic now. Those aren't ready yet.

Give it another couple more days and on a side note, that hygrometer/thermometer isn't really necessary. Humidity levels will fluctuate all the time. You just want to make sure your cakes are misted then allowed to dry up a bit, then misted again. You will get a stronger pinset that way, since evaporation from the surface is a major pinning trigger.

Unless they are PE. Harvest pe when the stem under the cap start to swell.

I say this because PE veils break when they are still very small like yours. But they get exponentially bigger by the time of harvest.

With PE I harvest after the caps change color.
