Are pins always small caps?
    #26372154 - 12/10/19 12:47 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Hey everyone,

Found my second patch of cyans ever. I want to keep it healthy by not “raping” the patch. When I first harvested, I was grabbing small mushrooms with small flat open open along with the medium sized wavy caps.

I was wondering if I destroyed the patch by grabbing the small shrooms. Are they technically considered pins that will increase in size? Or are they small adult mushrooms that will not effect patch help by harvesting?

A 'pin' is considered a small immature fruit body with the veil still intact. A small fruit body where the cap has opened
and the gills are visible is considered mature, and is fine to pick. Picking mushrooms is generally not detrimental to
the mycelial organism, but picking immature specimens and pins will lower the amount of spores released, and is
thus theoretically limiting the distribution of spores.

On the other hand, a person foraging will be a vehicle for the spores to travel to places they otherwise wouldn't
be likely to end up. In my mind, a species that gets handled and picked has a greater chance of spreading to new
areas than a species that is left to its own devices. As an example, I'm not sure if urban species like P. cyanescens
would be growing so widespread and abundantly if they weren't so popular.
