Remove pins before dunking?

My cake has been colonized completely and now I want to dunk and roll the cake in vermiculite. Unfortunately, 3 pins already appeared while still in the jar. The biggest pin is still quite small, about 1 inch. Should I remove these pins before dunking or leave it the way it is?

Leave them. If they happen to abort, you can pick them later. RR

Thanks RR, I'll leave them. Maybe a dumb question, but what is meant by an "abort" in this context? Is it a mushroom falling of the cake, one that stopped growing, started to rot or... ?

Yes, an abort is a mushroom that has stopped growing, the heads turn black and will not grow any further, these should be picked before they start to rot.

They are, if not more, just as potent as larger mushes too!

I assure you they are fine, unless of course they have started to rot.
But in any given case, "WHEN IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT!"

Talking about aborts.. I wonder how many of these shrooms will reach their mature hood:

There are so many, can the cake grow that many?   Anyway, the results of this 1st flush exceed my expectation!
