Id wait at least one maybe two more days depending on what the cap does. Harvest when the cap opens starts to flatten out and starts dropping spores if you are collecting them.
If not you could harvest right before the veil breaks.
Check this out on the og print Tek
Bods spore syringe making Tek So easy a caveman can do it.
Good luck!

Hold on thight, this might be too complex: The veil is breaking when.......... it breaks . What do you want to hear here? The veil under the cap just starts tearing apart at some point, this is the sweet spot for harvesting for personal use.
As for storage: Buy a dehydrator, put your shrooms in there, crank the temperature to 70°C (~160F) and just let them sit in there until they're all cracker dry (they should break apart from just looking at them). Then put it all in air tight jars with some desiccant packs and they're good for multiple months if not even years if stored in dark.

Unless it´s a PE variation, caps will raise up and flatten out. The veil is connected to cap and stem for protection, and stretches as the cap opens up, finally cracks. You´ll see the gills now, preparing on shooting spores soon.
If you don´t have a dehydrator yet, you can boil them for tea and freeze. Just weigh your harvest for later dosage.

Or if you have an oven that goes down to 50°C and has air circulation, you can wing it and dry them in there with the door slightly. That's how I did it in the beginning, but it is really a lottery. If your oven starts regulating the temperature too much, your mushrooms can be junk. I had a whole batch land in the garbage bin, necause the oven went too high and the whole batch lost all potency. Dehydrator is definitely the way to go, but there are ways around it for the starters.
ALAS: Making tea and freezing it is much safer, I wouldn't dry my mushrooms in the oven ever again.

Here's a pic of right before the veil tears on this culture I ran a while back. This is when I prefer to pick but some people will let the caps open up completely. If you do let them open up completely the only bad thing is spores start to drop ( which doesn't cause any problems really it just looks different) and caps don't fit in the dehydrator as easily.
