Harvest closed mushroom cap and make spore print ??
    #23191143 - 05/05/16 05:20 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

hi everyone,
since my cakes are fully colonized now i started to read more about harvesting.
There is one thing that confuses me. In a lot of threads people are talking about harvesting the mushrooms before their veil breaks to increase potency and to avoid getting spores on the cake.
But if I harvest them before the veil breaks how can i make a spore print? :confused:

And nobody has ever provided proof it does. If it does, it isn't noticeable to us through eating.

this is about the only reason to harvest before veils break.

You have to let them open to take prints. Ideally at this point.

There's a lot more of a case for decreased potency-by-weight than straight up decreased potency.  No potency is going away when the mushrooms gets bigger.  Mad Season you posted this response in two threads. :lol:

hey Mad Season,
thanks for your clarification regarding the potency. I read it so many times here and everybody seems to have a different opinion about it.

there is one more thing that i wanted to know about picking the shrooms when they reach the size as shown in your picture with their veils open.
I read that some guy here said to pick everything even the small mushrooms and then dunk and roll for the second flush. And i found a post where RoggerRabbit said don't pick everything just the mature mushrooms and the aborts with the black heads. He said if you pick everything you ruin your second and third flush. Is that correct what RoggerRabbit says ?
Hope you guys don't mind first time grower, just making sure.

You shouldn't pick pins that clearly have the potential to double in size.  As long as everything is between 75-110% mature it's a good time to harvest, anything that looks less than most of the way done should be left, and especially the very small pins.
