After the cap has developed. You gain quite a bit of mass if you let them go that extra bit. The whole "pick before veil breaks" craze is a bit overrated.

yeah, i let them go till they get no bigger, then a little more. I figure it's making psilocybin molecules te whole time it's alive, so why not. you know? plus, mushies taste great.

I do it right after the veil breaks for no reason other than to try and keep shitloads of spores out of my grow chamber.

Just as the veil breaks on the biggest of them myself. Then I can print a couple. But as deadmaker said spores don't get everywhere. Plus I personally think big caps look ugly and are the nastiest bit to chew on.. so smaller the better

ACK!! I sampled a small little mushroom cause ive never tasted fresh mushies and damn that is nasty! they deffiently taste better when they are dryed out. also can I make a tea out of fresh mushrooms? cause the tek I read about making tea says to grind them up too a powder first.

well, if somebody has never made tea before they must know that the water can't be too hot or else it will kill the psilocibin in the mushrooms...i learned this the hard way, destroying 1/2 a dry oz.
