Harvesting Help, Just A Few Questions

Hey everyone like the title says I need some assistance on harvesting, particularly a few questions. Please answer them if you know in 1. 2. 3. Etc format. And also these are Psilocybe Cubensis Golden Teacher
 1. In the pic above I was wondering when to harvest the larger ones?
2. I already see a few aborts with pretty dark heads, idk if the pic will do, should I pick them now or later?
3. Are the largest ones my 1st harvest?
4. Should I use small sterile scissors or pinch em off? Any technique?
Again thanks for anyone who knows!

1. The big ones can be harvested now but I usually like to let the viel to start tearing / caps start to open.
2. You can pick them or leave them, whichever you prefer.
3. All of those mushrooms are part of your 1st flush. After they are all picked the substrate will start to pin again after a few days to a week passes and that will be your 2nd flush.
4. You don't need sterile anything, just use scissors and cut them at the base of the stem as close to the substrate as you can. Avoid ripping up the substrate as much as possible as that provides a nice place for contaminates to start growing.
Best luck!

On the other hand, I prefer to rip them out lately, since leaving behind stumps is a great place for mold to grow. I've NEVER seen a crater grow contams, but I've seen it on stumps dozens of times.
If you mist after harvest, and waterlog your stumps, they will almost definitely mold over.

i also gently pull them out.
i find craters are often the first places for pins on successive flushes...
