Cutting or Picking Mushrooms?
    #27016080 - 11/01/20 05:17 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hey all.
When my BRF Cakes are ready to harvest, should I cut the mushrooms off or pick them off from the cake?
It seems like many people like to just pick, but if I’m supposed to pick, how exactly do I do this? Any advice on not oxidizing the good stuff of the mushroom?
If I cut, where exactly do I cut so that I don’t have little mushie stumps?
Thank you!
Cheers!

I think it really depends on the culture.  I have some Burmas that require cutting, if I picked it would tear the substrate up pretty bad.  On the other hand I have some Rusty Whytes that fall off the substrate with no effort or damage.  First time I went to harvest them I quickly realized the blade wasn't needed.

So I’ll most likely find out the best way when I do my first harvest? If it damages the substrate too much by picking, I should cut?
Cheers!

I would give them a little twist and pull but if they seem tightly anchored try cutting them as close to the substrate as possible.  Over the next week or so mycelium will colonize the "stump" and it will get a bit fuzzy.

I do Golden Teacher. On my BRF cakes they easily pluck off without any signs of damage to the cake. For my bulk tubs though, they seem to want to pull up a lot more with them, so I cut instead.

Grazing is always a good choice;)

If u dont want stumps cut close and trim/clean them afterwards

I’m going to graze as I go :wink:
Yeah, I don’t want stumps. If I end up cutting, I’ll be sure to cut close.
Cheers!
