Ready for havest yet? pics
    #7421965 - 09/17/07 11:21 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Just wondering if you think some of these are ready to harvest. This is my first grow. Not in a rush but I noticed some of the veils starting to tear apart so I thought I'd ask.
This first picture you should definatly be able to see the 2 mushrooms where the veil broke



This second picture is just a question. It appears that the mushrooms are sort of erupting from themselves. You can see where the skin is peeling the mushroom is growing out of it somewhat like a sprout. Just wondering if this is good or bad and what causes it. I think I recall seeing it on here before.



and the last pic is just a zoom out of my whole grow for you enjoyment and criticism!! xD

Yep, I wait for caps to open. Of course this is widely debated among the community. However, I don't think anyone would disagree with you waiting. None of those shrooms look even close. Give em another day or two.

Harvesting now or later really depends on what you're seeking from these mushrooms. If you are concerned for peak potency, then you should harvest just as the veil begins to break. If you are seeking good spore prints or wiehgt, then let them mature a little longer. They stop producing psilosybin when they change thier focus to sporulating, which is when the veil breaks and the gills are exposed to fresh air.
So, potent mushrooms= harvest as they are about to open.
Good printers or heavy shrooms= wait until they're mature.
I'm surprised no one gave you option before now.
THis is what I have read from many different areas of this site and this information came from the oldest and most knowledgeable members. The "wise men and women."
Still as a newb I could be mistaken, so feel free to double check or voice an expert opinion.

depends if you are in a hurry to eat em or not..if no then I would wait..
mostly everyone says oohhh dont let the veils break..
I really havent found any reason to pick em so early..cept for the fact tht they might drop spores and you will have to clean up a bit

ok so this is my under standing of it, they stop producing pyslocybin when they start to produce spores. so if mushie A is picked right before veil breaks and it weighs 1.5 gram dry , and mushie B is picked later after sporing a little and weighs 2 grams but it still has the same amount of pyslocybin as A. so mushie A would be 25% more potent cause it has 3/4ths the mass of B. so by this id say pick small if for personal use and big if selling. cause i personally dont want to eat more then i have to to get the same effect if im growing.

I've been growing and eating mushrooms for many years, and I have never noticed, nor have I heard anecdotal reports about small mushrooms havening NOTICEABLY higher levels of active ingredients. 3.5 g of aborts get me just as high as one big 3.5 g cap. You'll NEVER notice the difference, so the ONLY reasons to pick early would be to avoid the spore drops (which can be very messy, and a PITA to clean up), and to make sure the fruits look the way you want em.

so mushies still produce psylocybin even while they are droping spores/still growing?

I think that production falls off slowly, instead of halting in its tracks as soon as the veil tears, point being the difference is not noticeable, so to the simple cultivator it makes no difference.
