Harvest time? Where in its life cycle is this B+?

Hey y'all, getting my first and so far only flush from the one PF Tek cake I didn't mess up. It's on the small side, as I live in a very dry area that's also been cold as of late, so this flush only consists of two little fruits. One of them has just had a development that I have a question about.

I hear it's best to harvest right around the time the veil breaks, ideally just before. However, this thing isn't really big enough for me to tell what shape it's in. Does that look like it's only just starting to grow a cap, or like the veil itself has already broken? It's been in the fruiting chamber several days already (lost track of how long), so I can imagine it being harvest time already.

Still looks like a pin. Just wait till the veil tears it will be noticeable, the cap will start to open and the veil will appear.

No it’s got a few more days to go. The cap will open up sometimes almost flat that’s when. The yours is a baby still. You could even wait til it drops spores to be sure.

Thanks all. I'll give it more time and watch the veil to see when it breaks.

Look up pictures you won’t be able to see the veil til the cap starts to open, it’s stretched from the stem to the bottom of the cap

Yeah, I found one online showing the different stages of growth, labeled by whether or not to harvest. Couldn't quite figure it out at first, but I now know harvesting fruit with a dark, round cap would be a bit premature.
