Ok so these look about ready to pick. I am holding off until I get an opinion though. I'm thinking about letting them go a little longer to see if they get any bigger when their caps open more. Any opinions on this?

They're Ban Phang Ka Cube's. Why can't I wait till they get bigger though?

Well from what I've read on this website, I believe that the mushrooms are at their peak potency when the veils start breaking away.

Do they actually lose psilocybin or have the same amount of psilocybin and just have it spread out over the now greater mass of mushroom?

I'm pretty sure it is just more spread out, I can't imagine them ever losing any. And it's much easy to pick shrooms when their more mature.

Just pick them right before the veil starts to break. It looks like a poor flush imho.

Extremely heavy spore drops are said to interfere with pinning and pin maturation, but this seems to happen very rarely. I wouldn't worry about it.
Pick em whenever you want. Some people prefer to let the caps flatten out a bit for printing, or just for looks. Some people prefer to pick before the veil breaks for potency and to avoid all the spores, which can make a real mess.

Well I picked my first flush which is 73 grams wet. Not bad for a first grow IMHO. And I'm drying them right now in a dehydrator at 130 F. How long should I dry them for?

I decreased the temp to 95 just to be on the safe side. About how many hours will it take till they are cracker dry?

I want to know the real truth about this now. Can I dehydrate at any temperature or is it true that potency will be lost at higher temps?????!

I've never once had a problem with the potency of my mushrooms. I use a cheap ass dehydrator, probably exceeds 150 degrees and I;ve never noticed a difference in strength compared to fan dried shrooms. I think people place to much emphasis on optimal conditions. You may lose some potency due to the heat in your dehydrator but its not enough that you would notice it.
