When to harvest, specifically penis envy advice. Should I harvest all if I think some are done or do all at once regardless?

Hi everyone, I think some of these may be ready to harvest. They're getting bulbous near top and they are getting a lighter brown, some smaller ones look as if the veil opened a bit. Should I be harvesting these all at once, a few at a time, does that even matter? Any tips I would appreciate, first grow ever. Are they even ready or am I getting impatient?

None of those are ready, imo. PE won’t drop spores so there’s no worry there. They can also open their caps earlier than other varieties so I like to make sure they’re done growing. This is about when I pull em (the most muture ones) if I’m not waiting on spores for swabs

Let the caps open up. Harvest fruits individually when they are ready. No need to harvest all at once.
Normally the stems feel like marshmallows when they are ready. But this depends if the penis pheno really show up. I had tubs from the same syringe and some of the tubs produced only normal non penis looking fruits

Oh wow, thank you for the clarification. So it is winter and my heat is running, I've noticed the sides of substrate beginning to pull away from sides. I had it at field capacity when I started. Is that something to be concerned about right now or should I just keep doing FAE and misting when necessary. I have condensate that will run down side in droplets, that how I've been measuring if it's humid enough. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you regardless.

The mycelium eats the substrate so its normal that it shrinks. This is not a problem but sidepins will show up because in this space between substrate and tub wall there is a good climate to fruit
