Potency and when to harvest
    #27796350 - 05/28/22 11:27 AM (2 years, 7 months ago)

I've been hearing different things and I want to hear what you guys do...

So I've been told to harvest once the mushroom has matured, or once that veil has broken. My question is, since mushrooms grow and mature at a different rate, are you guys constantly running your dehydrator once one is ready, day in and day out? Or do you store them somewhere in the meantime, and dry in bulk?

What worries me is losing potency. I've heard letting the cap open and grow longer too will cause you to lose spores, thus making it less potent. But I've also heard that they need to be dried as soon as or even before the veil breaks, or else it can lose potency also. I need some info from you guys to get this set straight, thanks

The little I know is you’re supposed to harvest them right before the veil breaks. And depending on when you want to consume them you either consume them within a few days (fresh) or you dry them otherwise they will rot. Potency wise I’m not sure either makes a difference, you just don’t want to eat rotten mushrooms.

But I’m no expert

Well, my dehydrators pretty much run around the clock now. I am probably putting a pound dried a week in my compost pile. So.. Once you learn agar and isolation work, you'll have much more even and consistent flushes. So you'll be able to harvest all at once. I don't mind some spore dropping because that allows the rest to mature before harvest. But there's a line there. I'm harvesting pretty much 7 days a week. The way I see it, there's plenty mature fruits so little ones aren't a big deal. And they're potent too. I'm not after weight anymore. That shit adds up fast. So I pick babies AND fruits about to jizz all over. Anyway, my damned rambling. For now so your harvest is at its peak, go ahead and pick as they mature and dry immediately. EDIT: The veil opening does NOT result in a loss of potency. The longer they grow, the more alkaloids they have. They just won't gain much more if any weight. Ugh. Gotta love facebook and reddit cancer shit lol.

There’s very many different opinions, a lot of people say to harvest right before the cap opens actually. I harvest right after the veil breaks and pick only the ones that have done that. I weigh them out and then put them right away in the dehydrator. Usually the next day the rest catch up and break there veil. For the aborts, I just pick them if I see no continued growth
