Right as the veils are breaking would be ideal.

Pick the mature fruits when you see the veils break. You don't need to pick them all at once, you can just take each as it matures fully. If picking a mature fruit looks like it will uproot and damage growing pins next to it, then cut it off as low as you can with something clean and sharp to avoid tearing up other growth and harvest that stump when everything next to it is ready.

Pic each fruit as the veil tears. This is usually the best time to pick as it avoids spores dropping everywhere.

If you are thinking about taking prints then u can wait till the cap flattens out more, but not too much or it may be too late.

Its up to you, i like the way the shrooms look before the cap flattens out on EQ shrooms, but on my lipa yai they look so pretty with the caps flattened out, i have also noticed that u can let the cap flatten out alot on the lipa yai before they go mad dropping spores. where as on my EQ they dropped spores alot earlier.

Pick when the veil is stretched( before it rips) make for an aesthetic
dried fruit. Also keeps your spore load clean for printing.
