Monotub, when to pick and how to get 2nd Flush

Here's my current grow.
My question is when should I pick the mushrooms? I have read that the potency doesn't increase with size and in my experience mushrooms as big as the biggest one in the photo work a treat. Does letting them grow just mean that they're sucking up all the nutrients? if I pick now wouldn't that make it easier to get good results with a second flush?
Also, when this flush is finished what is the process of getting it to flush again?

Let them get alittle bigger till the veil breaks or the cap starts to open there is only a few that i see thatt will soon need picked ,also your second flush should come pretty soon really after picking

thats not a monotub. pick when the caps open. second flush comes in if conditions are maintained.(proper conditions)
those trays are jacked up. huge ass blotches.
please detail your steps. on a positive note. yay for mushrooms

Can I ask what the reason for letting the veil break is? Will the Psilocin and psilocybin content increase?
Big fat shrooms look impressive but if they're good to go at this stage why not pick them?

Yes there are a few blotches but pins are starting to appear on the bottom right tray as well so I'm fairly happy. Do these blotches suggest I'm not doing something right?
The substrate is Rye Grain, inoculated with a liquid culture. Can't remember if the LQ was a B+ one or a Mexican one.
The tray with the shrooms growing I birthed straight away, using fully colonised grain and a coir/verm mix. The top left and bottom right ones I incubated.
Anybody have any ideas why the one I birthed straight away has started growing quicker than the incubated ones?

The blobs are just mycelium, nothing to worry about on that score.

pretty much. but bigger is better. its easier to dose also.
i got a big bag of aborts and mushrooms at that stage and 3g of those compared to 3 grams of say 'normal sized' is crazy different.
