When is the mushroom most potent during wild growth? Should I let them fully mature?

Do you mean before the cap fully matures and turns upwards, or when they are young and the cap is still closed around the stem?

Dont pick them all this young though, let sum mature and drop spores.
Out of 50 caps i might pick 10 that are like this and leave the rest to grow.
Oh yeah dont over pick any mushroom patch, respect it.

Ok, well I picked my babies in the back, There caps have opened a little. They look fresh, but are about 1-2 inches. I have never found them this young and I think it will be easy on my stomach. Can I just keep watering the patch? Or should I let it take a break from water for a little while? If I keep water on the ground will they just keep popping up?

Ya these are weilii, they taste and smell like them, and I had a few growing around where these were. I grew these with my house and sprinkler. All night water and than some. Didn't know that thanks for the info Beege. Question: I found mushrooms like in your second picture, (huge dungbells they looked like) and they dropped black spores all over the other caps and everything. Did those contain psilocybe? My buddy found one that was exact same shape and length, cream white color, growing of cow manure in the field but it didn't blue. I have only found weilii and subbalteatus

I'd be careful on watering.... it IS possible to water it to much and stunt the mycelium growth. I recommend you give it a couple day break.

Thanks man! Good shrooms will be growing soon. How many grams do you guys usually eat fresh? (weilii) I had a very visual and body feeling trip off 4 grams fresh (two shrooms) !

personally i would say as soon as that veil breaks they are at their most potent, though when the veil is still closed they are they are considered immature

Yeah i wouldnt water your patch but once a week if that, there really is no need for you to do that.
Also dont wash your shrooms, this decreases potency.
When a mushroom stains blue it means the active chemicals that make you trip are degrading, washing your mushies will speed up this process of oxidation.

Are there any truffle shrooms in GA? I would really like to find some philosopher mushroom. Thanks for tips! Will fan drying mushrooms degrade the potency?

I fan dry mine, works great and they hardly stain blue, which is a plus.
There are truffles i have been told, there called pecan truffles because they grow under pecan trees.

I read once that thet get stronger until the cap springs open and then they just get bigger with the same trippy content. I'm not as clued as some of the buffs on here though by a long stretch!
