First harvest

So i picked my first matured fruits today. My tub was neglected and had early problems but still managed to pull through for me. I will likely make a full post of what happened from start to the finish, but i just wanted to show off and ask a few questions!
These were the fruits as of last night. I wanted to harvest them before the veils opened, but I work 10 hour shifts and made it home well after they opened up.

Here they are when I got home. Some of them look so much larger than I ever expected.

This was my favorite cluster that came from the tub. I had to pick a few of the smaller ones in order to access the base of the stem though.

Heres a look at all of the fruits that I harvested.

This is my tub after the removal. I notice the large black spot in the center and understand this to be a spore dump. I have researched and understand that these spores will cause difficulties in my second flush, but Ive also read that it should be fine, just not as good as it could be.

What are your persona feelings about flushing with visible mushroom spores on the sub? What about picking mushrooms as they mature instead of all at once? My pinset was so spotty, but new pins are continuing to pop up every day.
Thanks for your time!

Can pick the mushrooms any way you want. The question should be how do you want to pick them? Spores shouldn't be an issue i don't think. Im a noob though keep that in mind lol.

I think I would rather harvest all together but I wouldn't want to deprive the rest of the mushrooms of a full growth! I'm a noob too, just wanting some personal perspectives. So much information out there

lol yeah the cap opening makes them look twice as big as they were but I’m pretty sure it’s just an illusion.
I wouldn’t worry about the spores I’ve never noticed anything from it.
I bet your second flush comes in big if you maintain conditions!

Oh yeah for sure
I dunked tonight for 3 hours. My sub broke in half during the process, but I cleaned tub, replaced polyfil and put back for fruiting.

Congratulations dawg I remember my first brf cake harvest that yeilded one shroom. It was just enough to spark my interest into mycology and put me on the path I've been on. Much love brother

Awesome dude!
Just out of curiosity, I see you have the same low budget hygrometer as I do. The petco version I think right? Hahaha. I couldn't get one locally and didn't want to pay shipping. It helps to just listen to the substrate and give it what it wants.
Anyway, I noticed yours is at about 80%. Mine will not go above that, and when I wrapped it in a wet towel, it pegged at 80%. So it's "100%" is actually 80%. Have you tested yours to see if its accurate. I'd be willing to bet its like mine and horribly off.

Those are pretty useless for cult anyway, I bought a couple when I started.
If it’s above 90% for more than a few hours the display goes nuts.

Very nice job. Those look really good. Don't worry at all about the spores.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad I have started cultivating. Its stress relieving and very rewarding. The defeat is also pretty harsh, though. I almost tossed this tub very early on. Yeah this is definitely from petco haha. Mine wouldn't pass 80% when I first got it, but i tapped it and it went up to ~90. Mighta broke it lol. I didnt even start using it until the tub had already produced fruits. I just wanted to get an idea of the humidity I was running with.
I dunked last night and already have pins. Is this typical? I'm nearly positive that I picked all of the pins after my first flush.

You got some bigguns in there.
If you have a PCd agar plate ready or poured you could take a clone.
