cutting just the cap?
    #5559667 - 04/26/06 06:11 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

if the cap were cut after the veils torn and the stem left behind (to prevent spore loss, overlay, etc), would the stem continue to gain mass as if the cap were left on? or are all the growth hormones located in the cap?

i think it would not continue to grow as it would know it was fatally damaged.

IME they stop growing, so it's best to harvest the stems as soon as possible.

they will also rot if you leave them some poeple chop the early ones to avoid the mess spore causes. so they can pick everything at once a day or 2 later.

Why would you leave the stem behind? Just slice the stem off even with the casing layer to avoid damaging nearby pins.
