I am very confused. I see people showing off their canopies of all different sized mushrooms. I have been picking as I go, as soon as each and every mushroom is at its prime harvest stage.

 As you can see, there is no big thick canopy only because I pick each one when it's ready. If I would have left them all to pick at the same time, I would have a big ass canopy too. These are Ecuador variety btw

You can let them go and pick all at once it will just be a spore covered mess usually. It really doesn’t matter as long as you harvest before they start turning gross.......

Canopies are usually a genetic thing. Or just a luck thing. Sometimes if it's a thick canopy, like 90% will mature at the same time, so it can be difficult getting to certain shrooms that mature first without fucking up other shrooms.
I've grown about a dozen tubs at this point and I've gotten only one canopy, so I pick as I go generally.

Canopies are a clean spawn thing and a conditions thing too.

I personally always waited for fear of disturbing any developing pins or clusters. Once majority of pins have reach that stage I'll harvest all at once before first of the 2nd flush pins start getting too far along. I also don't care too much if some of them drop spores. A little unsightly but usually not enough to affect following pins.

My biggest yet. 1.6 shy of the 100g mark. This was a gt but my previous largest was an Ecuadorian. Always liked that variant.

Ecuador are my fav by far! They throw off some monsters and they're super fast colonizers too.

For sure. Quick to colonize, beefy fruits and plenty of them. I wish I hadn't accidentally given away all my EC prints. Haha. Miss those guys.

The same pic is now my sig.

Not everyone has the time to harvest every single fruit at the perfect time. Often life gets in the way.
Ive eaten Ecuador before and they are insanely potent. Actually one variety that is a little evil and scares me a bit. Sets me off on a bad evil trip everytime.

I have a few old agar plates I'm gonna try to revive. They're dirty af but that's the beauty of agar. I dug through all my old stuff and am going a little crazy with it. Poured 80 plates on the 4th or something and pouring another 40 or so today.
