if you leave some behind it will rot and start to decompose.

You can pull now unless you are going to want to make a spore print of some, then you should let the cap open till it is flat.

For maximum potency, try to pick 'em right before the veil breaks ... like when you see little tears but the cap hasn't spread out yet.

Potency is really no issue here. Harvesting before veil breaks just makes handling/storage more convenient as well as keeping that casing cleaner.

I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"

ive noticed that before the veil breaks they are much more potent. I know this because one time I ate one shroom that was unbroken at the veil by itself and had threshold effects, when it took many more open veil mushrooms to get a threshhold effect. my opinion anyways.
