Psilocybin at its highest just as veil breaks...here's the source of rumour (psylocybe fanaticus!!!)

****EDIT**** see my post below ************
This book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/det...nce&s=books
I was flipping through this in the book store and it says, under the harvesting section...
"Psilocybin levels are at their highest in these coprophores just before the veil membrane breaks"
I'm quoting that from memory, so it may not be exactly right, but that's basically what it said.

It says:
The mushrooms are harvested just after the partial veil ruptures. The psilocybin content of the mushrooms is highest at this stage in the carpophore's growth.
I have yet to see any definitive scientific study that confirms this.

Exactly.
I wasn't saying it was true. I was saying this is where that rumour probably came from, as people have often said, "That isn't proven, I don't know where the hell people get that from."

What hypothesis? There is no hypothesis there. Remember a hypothesis is always stated as a question. That quote from the book is stated as proven fact, with no support or sources.

The rumor is, as you said, that the levels are highest just BEFORE the veil ruptures.
This book though claims that this is the case "just after the partial veil ruptures".

My opinion of what is at its highest stage, when mushrooms are harvested at the veil rupture stage & dried, is the quality appearance. Which, (to me) demonstrates the color, size, length & weight of each painting.

i harvest when the cap is open, so i can also take prints. then dry and pulverize everything. appearance is not that important once you put it in a blender!

depends on...
if I'm taking spore prints or if I'm just harvesting fruits.
if I'm taking spore prints...I wait til the cap flattens out.
if I'm just after fruits...I harvest them before the veil breaks. because they look nicer dried out!~

If you harvest when the caps flatten out horizontally, you gain a noticeable amount of mass as opposed to harvesting before the veil breaks, obviously. I've never noticed a difference in potency between the two, therefore I don't believe there actually is a detectable difference.
What really interests me is that a company such as Procare harvests before veil breakage. Do they know something we don't, or are they merely acting on unscientific data as well? Perhaps customers in the dutch coffee shops believe they are more potent prior to veil dropping, and they set the market standard. I should email Procare.

Just about all mushrooms sold in legal countries, are sold before the veil breaks. I think it might just have to do with keeping it clean. They're dealing with such huge amounts that the spores probably just make them look ugly when packaged (like at out grocery store) and make a mess in the place. I know my production puts spores ALL over the place, I could only imagine that shit.

Here's where the rumour comes from! The great psylocybe fanaticus himself!
Quote:
When the caps aren?t fully expanded, all of the races look similar. The visual differences emerge when the shrooms mature, but then when they mature, they are only good for spore printing. These are weak in potency and unsatisfying for tripping. So the word of wisdom is, grow them PF style, harvest them when they are young and cool dry them with desiccant. When this is done, they are an entheogen of the highest nature.

I mean, here's another quote in another page about cakes...
Quote:
The secret to potent mushrooms is in their age when picked. It has been scientifically proven that the small immature specimens are significantly more potent than the larger mature specimens. Over half of the small primordia that first form will abhort (cease growing, convolute and deform). Pick these before their heads turn black. A pointed knife blade works well for removing these high potency primodia. These are among the most potent. The abortive mushrooms are also high potency. Harvest them when they are young and before their heads turn black. When the fruitbodies are normal, harvest them before the veil under the cap breaks. The mushrooms will be smaller and their heads will be roundish. It is important to note that the mushroom cakes pictured in this book are all mostly well matured. While these mature specimens are beautiful and perfect, they are not as potent as the diminutive specimens. The mature specimens are good for spore collecting and showcasing but are weak in psychedelic potency.
Where does he get that from??? He says, "scientifically proven"
WHERE?

But are you so sure he made it up? I mean, PF was a longtime grower who knows his stuff, so I'm sure it's based off of something he heard/read/saw.

Does he suggest that primordia and aborts should be harvested before the rest of the flush? Might this disturb the process? Can it be harvested with the flush instead, or do you face rotting issues?

Even if there is no potency drop after the veil breaks, would it still be a better idea to harvest before it opens?
I am not talking about potency, but the spores that drop. Some have said that it effects future flushes... is this another rumor that we are going to spread around or has anyone had real experience with this difference? I mean, a light dusting of spores on the casing layer couldn't really effect it to much could it?

what the hell is with people saying "potentcy drops". i thought the rumor stated that "psilo is stopped being produced after the veil breaks while the mushroom itself continues to grow, therefore lowering the psilo to mushroom matter ratio".
so the rumor is that the psilo actually degrades after the veil breaks? thats completely retarted.

I agree, but that isn't the rumor. The rumor is that the psilocybin stops production when the veil breks.
