when to pick...
    #7654091 - 11/19/07 10:11 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hey Gang,

First time cultivating using rye grain/sub/casing etc.

got several lovelies coming through and fully fruited and wondering if I should cut them off at casing layer or pick them?

I have picked a few but found that it has pulled up the myc webwork that makes them up and sometimes ruined a buddy fruit nearby. Most of the pics I have seen of casing trays show a huge crop all coming up at the same time. Not the case with mine.

What say you folks?

:pm: me if you have questions about lasers

Although i may advise others in a general way regarding all types of mushroom grows, and may even post question from other forums about growing "active" mushrooms, i only grow non-"active" mushrooms and edibles.

I will answer your question and then I'm closing this thread. This question has been asked hundreds, if not thousands of times. You always harvest your mushrooms by grabbing the base of the stipe (stem) and twisting the mushroom until it comes loose. Never grab the mushroom, as you would a plant, and pull.

The latter will certainly pull clumps of substrate along with the fruit. You also never want to "cut" the mushroom off, as this will leave live tissue on your substrate and will begin to rot. Always remove the mushrooms entirely, even if there is a piece left over.
