Maybe go ahead and get those, but try to get those others all at once to clear your first flush. It seems to be better for the cake/casing if you can get them all at once and give the c/c time to recover and start it's next efforts.

yeah, I might just harvest the 1 cake completely with the 2-3 big shrooms, then dunk and roll it separately.

I harvest each casing twice usually. The first set that gets huges and there's usually one set of mushies that follows but are a bit behind. After asking here I started picking the first set, waiting a few days, then the second. If there are any left that are trying to catch up after the second I just clear the casing, soak it overnight in the fridge, then start the second/third flush. Works great. Once I pick the first big set the second seems to grow faster. Might be just me but it seems that way. Any way you look at it, I've been doing it with great success this way.

I just sterilized some foil in the oven for making prints.
when does the cap drop the spores? like if I harvest them now, the biggest ones, will they def leave a spore print after 24 hours, or I guess I could just sterilize a knife and scrape the spores from the cap, right?

If you want a spore print, leave it til the veil brakes and it starts to turn up on the edges, then get it quick!

I harvested them, then put 2 of the caps onto foil and covered with shot glasses.
You think I might have to wait longer than 24 hours before I get a print from them? both the veils had broken but just in the last 4-8 hours.

I take it, that you used the 2 in the middle for prints? They still look young for print making. the 3rd one from the left would have been prime for prints in about another day.
To make print wait until they almost flatten out, then pick and print. by that time you should have some spores on the stem.
See how the veil on the 3rd one has black edges? those are spores, but if left for a little longer it would have made a better spore print.
just my $0.02
Other than that, Congrats on the fruits.
