First flush! Seeking any tips + understand when to harvest, etc.
    #26449868 - 01/24/20 12:08 PM (4 years, 5 days ago)

Well, one of my shoeboxes is fruiting nicely! Very exciting and my first time!

Now I am trying to understand when, exactly to harvest and how to make the most of it. Here is what it looks like today:



To me, they look healthy but do any of you notice anything that would suggest I need more/less humidity or FAE? Any tips much appreciated!

I have learned that it's best to harvest when the veil is about to break, but unfortunately I don't know if I actually understand what that means! For example, some of the caps are intact but a few look like these ones. Are these ready to harvest?

They’re a bit stretched, which MAY be a sign of low FE.

You can harvest those. If you wait, they’ll sporulate and spores taste like shit.

Yeah I would pick the ones where the caps have gotten lighter.

They do look a little stretched but not much, that’s usually an air or light thing.

Ok, I've been taking the lid off the box and fanning them for just a minute twice a day. Maybe I'll up that to 3 times a day, or just leave a little more space between the lid and the box.

Crack the lid more. Fanning is outdated - turns out it’s not beneficial.
