When do you all harvest your mushrooms?
    #27015679 - 11/01/20 12:31 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Hi!
Lots of mixed opinions everywhere on the internet.
When is the best time to harvest mushrooms?
Before the veil breaks?
Right after?
Just let it keep growing until it stops?
I want larger fruits but I don’t want a whole bunch of spores possibly clogging my cakes??
Cheers!

There really isn’t any benefit to waiting much longer after the veil tears. Actually, the longer you wait, the more of the mushrooms’s flesh gets converted into gills. Not a problem really, but a bit cleaner. In those final 6-12 hours between the veil tearing and sporulation, the mushroom isn’t focusing on gaining mass anymore so what’s the point of waiting?

So what you’re saying is harvest right after the veil breaks and there is no benefit to waiting longer?
Cheers!

I like mine as uniform as possible so i pick them right before veil tears. if i am going for pure weight and don't care then let the caps open wide.

Would you say there is a difference in potency between the veil torn and not torn?
Cheers!

Once the veil breaks, they will drop their spores (some varieties don't spore until a while after their veil breaks, while others drop spores fairly soon after - and all of that is based on environmental conditions). Once they drop their spores, they stop maturing and become highly susceptible to starting to rot. Letting them rot will allow bacteria and other spores to get a foothold in your grow. In addition, dropping their spores can make the other spores (and the substrate) not look the greatest.

This being said, IMHO it's better to harvest them just as the veil is breaking.

I want prints and like how mushrooms look when their caps flatten out so I'll leave mine to open up their caps a bit.

I think I’ll harvest just as the veil is breaking then. It seems like that’s the “perfect” point if you are just consuming them.
Cheers!

I’ll probably let 1 or 2 flatten so I can take prints :mushroom2::grin:

I would alway harvest mine when the veil broke. I’ve been experimenting with letting them grow longer even if some spores drop. I’ve notice I get a bigger cap and overall bigger mushroom = more weight. Just see what works for you try a few different times of harvest.
