first mushroom endeavor

hey just wanted to know how my first ever time messing with mushrooms is looking, I'm about 5 days in after the first pin appeared. These are golden teachers in a coco coir/verm substrate. I have them in a smaller sized tub with no holes just placed the lid askew a bit, I mist maybe 3-4 times a day and fan them with the plastic lid. I have my old reptile's basking bulb a couple of shelves above the tub in the closet and run it on here and there when the temp drops a bit.

Looking good! Just be careful with your misting. Water beading on the caps can cause deformations or even contam. They don’t like it.

does anyone know how effective these shrooms would be for ingesting at the stage they’re in right now? would the potency difference matter that much?

The potency of the psychoactive compound does not change but the amount of psilocybin will be less than if you were to wait until they were fully grown. More weight/volume = more psilocybin/psilocin

thanks for the reply, i was talkin more about wet vs dry weight and how the dosage would work since they’re fresh, but i figure all of that out now.

also a question for experienced growers. wondering should i dunk my small tub for a second harvest already? all the veils on the shrooms seen in my previous posts broke and im drying them out rn. its not as much yeild as i thought i would get, but I didnt use that much spawn or substrate for this small tub as it was my first time growing, but is the first harvest over or should i continue waiting for more pins to appear and grow for now? its been 7 days since the first pin appeared in my tub, i got about 2 inches of substrate in a 12x9x9 tub.

if you wanna trip hard, or want the mushroom at its most potent state, eat them straight out of the substrate. Even the tiniest shroom you will feel almost instantly if you really munch on it. Yeah you can do a dunk or soak, or you can just mist heavily

just another update, my second flush is coming in fairly well in the small monotub and i was able to birth, dunk and roll two cakes with much more mycelium than the small tub. i put the cakes in a larger tub, placed them on tin foil and since i don't have perlite im using vermiculite on the floor of the tub. also no holes in the larger tub either just placed the lid askew a bit.

another update, most of the mushrooms in my little tub matured completely today so i picked everything that was of good size only small pins left in the tub. would those pins grow into bigger mushrooms or is that it for my second harvest? anyways heres a pic of the yield and how they're looking right now as of 6 hours of fan drying in cardboard on top of paper towel, they’re at about 15 grams now. would i have to put them in a baggie with a desiccant packet after the 24 hours of fan drying or should i be good to grind the shrooms up into powder after the 24 hours.

Yeah, learned that through experience..  I chewed about 11grams of fresh invitro pins when I birthed the cakes, which should translate to about a gram of dried---next to nothing. But somehow I found myself slightly tripping after about 20mins.. quite potent straight out of the box no doubt

they look healthy but somewhat dry? remember pinning is largely triggered by water evaporation off of cake' surface.
