When the veil is about to tear away from the cap. Letting them open can cause other mushrooms to not form for whatever reason. On the 3rd, and 4th flushes you can let them grow all the way since you probably won't see anymore flushes. Thats with cakes. With a casing mix I let them grow all the way. You can do that with the cakes to, but like I said your cake may stall.

The Smaller the better because they'll tkae up more moisture and keep in more of the mushroom itself depending on what mushroom species your growing. Also pick before the veil tears. This prevents thousands if not millions of spores dropping on your crop and hindering future crops by either suffocating, germinating and making new mycelium crossing over or with primordia forming mycelium, looking nice.

Pick em when you can't go 5 minutes without looking at them and drool anymore... Then again, I know a few that would be picking pins and aborts!

This is what I consider to be the perfect time to pick, (The tallest ones that clearly show the veil completely separated.)
Although if you're paying attention and you have the opportunity to be there, This is what I "Really" like. Right when they flatten out but haven't dropped their spores yet
