Pick ?
    #5862731 - 07/15/06 07:27 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Most reading has said that you should pick once the vail breaks. However I have noticed that most people on here wait until for them to mature a little more...about when the caps are flat. I would just assume wait until they are more mature to pick so they would be a little bigger, but is there a downside to that?
This one in my pic is a little different story, I'm thinking I should pick this one because it ran into some others (and the vail & stem broke). Would you pick this yet or will it go around the ones that it ran into?



Thanks!

If the stem acutally broke or suffered some damage then yes you need to pick it. Otherwise it will rot.

I always say to pick soon after the veil breaks for best quality. You can wait until the cap is bigger, but I wouldn't wait untill the cap is actually flat. That's too long. You want to get them before they start dropping spores in any case.

Poor choice of words. I shouldn't say the stem broke....it split. You can see what i'm talking about in the picture.

Pick it for sure, it will rot if you leave it.

You will learn when the best time to pick is for you once you have your first couple of flushes. For me, once I see the veil tear, I watch the mushies very closely as they start to drop spores soon after. (And I end up with black capped mushies and spots that look like they were burned on the casing itself. (Just spores) Its more annoying than anything, but not harmful.
