so heres the deal, I was gone on a short vacation for a couple days and came home to a lot of my fruits fully open and covered in spores. Seeing how i couldn't really find a answer when i searched for it I could really use some input. besides not looking the best, how is the potency? I expect a little diminished potency but just curious if its still worth my time. thanks guys, i appreciate the input

This is my guess.
Around the time the caps open the mushrooms begin growing extremely fast. Weve all seen this.
So growth is going faster. But at the same time psolocybin peoduction stays about the same.
So the shrooms put on a little bit more weight but the psilocybin production doesn't increase with that growth. This creates a negligible drop in potency once dried.
I have personally felt that small imature shrooms are stronger than spore covered monsters but there are so many other factors that could have gone into it that it's just a guess.
Your mushrooms are fine.

Anyone else find that spore covered fruits are slightly hard to get down?

The degree to which this is happening probably matches the lightening of the cap color for the same reason.
Which makes me wonder, what if the opposite happened? What if the pigment continued to increase without the mushroom getting bigger. I imagine it would turn the cap black. Which might explain why aborts seem more potent.

No supposedly spores taste terrible but i licked a spore print and spores definitely don't taste any worse than the cubes themselves.
Also if there is some potency difference its something no human can tell from eating em.

Heh, it'd be funny if everyone was just saying they tasted so horrible because RR said it.

Your visual impression has a lot to do with how you taste something... if it looks gross, chances are a lot higher that you will think it tastes gross because you're already grossed out

Believe it or not this is why presentation is so important when you're a chef.

This. You can serve some fucked up food and people will be happy if it looks pretty.
As for the original question, I can't tell a difference in potency. Other people want them to be pretty though, and I feel like they taste worse covered in spores. I haven't licked a print but I've eaten some old, spore-covered mushrooms.

I've licked layers of spores right off the cap and couldn't really taste anything, but everyone else seemed so adamant they taste like shit I figured it must just be me.
