torn veil or flattened cap.

been reading a bit, and most teks say to pick when the veil tears from the stem. At the same time ive been told the same tek was outdated or incorrect on other terms... and ive read in posts to pick when the cap has flattened out.

what do you guys say is the optimal time to pick.

Ideally you want to pick them between the two stages. ie, after the veil has torn from the stem and before the cap flattens.

If a cap flattens it means that it's only a short time away from spore production, which can cause overlay problems and possible contam issues in your FC. In order to prevent this, it's easiest just to pick them as they tear cleanly away.

Torn or tearing to prevent mushroom spores from covering your FC. Convex to Flattend to take spore prints, or for maximum weight.

do the stems continue to put on mass/lengthen as the cap is flattening?
