Generally, the more mature a fruit is, the more it weighs.

Well if they opened, then they're more mature.  Did you weigh more when you were a growing child or do you weigh more now that you are mature? :smirk: :mushroom2: :mushroom2: :grin:

Generally speaking, true dat.

But theoretically, once the mushroom is opening most of it's energy is consumed by spore production... some mushrooms can produce as much as fifty percent of their mass in spores AFTER being picked.  So the cells are actually depleted of the necessary constituents of spores and these are re-directed to spore mass...
The cells in the rest of the fruit body, may continue to uptake more water/nutes from the substrate, thus increasing in volume, but, again I'm speaking theoretically here, not necessarily increase (much) in mass...
And again,
Harvesting mushrooms when the caps are closed is just good practice in light of the consequences of heavily sporulated casings... and the susceptibilty of flesh to bacteria once no longer actively growing... not to mention that "my" experience has been that as the mushrooms mature, the structure of the flesh gets lighter (especially at high humidity) and the stalks often become hollow, giving the appearance of a much larger mushroom.
Of course, there is no doubt that allowing them to grow after the caps open will certainly give you more mass.
But how much, and at what cost (stifled pinsets due to germinating spores, the fragility of thinned out, opened caps, the subtle loss of potency over time, and simple ease of drying)....that's the question.

And how is anyone gonna get clean spores out of a sack if it doesn't have a closed cap or two in there?
:discodance:

Do the elderly weigh what they once did in their 20's?

Not so.

---"Stipe growth is mainly the result of manifold cell elongation rather than cell division"
---"Decapitation of the stipe before meiosis arrests stipe expansion, showing that the cap is needed for the early development of the stipe (39, 99, 138, 150, 195). Consistent with this, grafting experiments revealed that during meiosis, the cap produces a diffusible substance acting on basidiocarp maturation, including stipe elongation (200). Rapid stipe elongation correlates with the end of meiosis 8 h after the nuclei in the bulk of basidia have fused (155, 202). Although the cap still influences the absolute length a stipe can achieve, in the postmeiotic basidiomes the stipe and cap develop independently from each other. Also, the stipe does not need to be connected to the vegetative mycelium, indicating that stipe elongation is an autonomous endotrophic event requiring no exogenous nutrients, growth factors, or water"
---"Inflation of paraphyses makes a major contribution to cap extension"
---"During fruiting-body maturation, there are no further cell divisions and most changes in the shape of the cap depend on cell expansion (338, 344). Cap expansion correlates temporally and proportionally with stipe elongation, which lifts up the cap for more effective spore dispersal"

from: http://mmbr.asm.org/cgi/content/full/64/2/316#SEC3_4_2
i DID say theoretically.
My contention is merely that non-water mass doesn't increase significantly during active sporulation.
It seems evident that actual spore production qualifies as a phase of fruitbody development distinct from the development of the fruitbody itself, and is regulated by different cellular processes...
What is your reason for saying "not so"?
just curious

so whats the final result harvest when fully mature after spores deposite.. or when the veil is beggining to tear away from the cap...
Closed or Open which weigh more.... :mushroom2:

primordia [Re: superbob57]
    #5392183 - 03/12/06 02:50 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Hey guys, I got my first primordia ever three days ago. Now the biggest one is about two inches long. However, some of the little ones are growing really weirdly. A couple seem to have already broken their veils but they're only about half an inch long. Also, some of the others are growing like a ball, not a pillar like normal mushrooms. My fruiting chamber has clear sides and an opaque lid so I have to shine light in rom the sides, and I rotate the chamber daily. Could this be causing the crazy growth? and if so, will my mushrooms still be ok?

Mature P. Cubensis spores are ejected from gills via the force created by a "Buller?s drop". Which is explained in detail RIGHT HERE:

The total weight of those spores from a single large cap is about 1/20th of a gram.
