Aborts before flush?

So I have a casing doing pretty well, 0% contam throughout the whole process and it was my first grow. it was on WBS and cased with 50% Verm and 50% peat moss. My question is how do i know what an abort looks like? Are there aborts before the flush is ready to harvest? I have some big pins that I thought where growing and maybe still are but they are still pretty white at the top, with some dark color underneath the white on the head. is that just the head coming through or??? We do have some small pins with very good colored heads... and some large ones that dont. We would like to trip off the aborts tonight if thats what they are... they are supposed to be potent correct? how many aborts should you eat for a good trip? Sorry for the "I really need to trip" questions but.... I really need to trip.

as a pin begins to abort the small top will change from redish brown to and darker coloer like black. as a cap gets bigger they will lighten in color. Is is ver general, not sure how it applies to white cap pins.

There are several factors about why your shrooms are aborting. You don't have enough humidity, fae ... Aborts look like normal shrooms just with black caps and they are not growing. I wouldn't eat them but if you look in the pf tek method (www.fungifun.org) you will see that it says that it's ok to eat them if they are NOT rotting !!

After a few flushes, you can tell when a pin has aborted. Aborts are fine to eat (they're actually more potent, gram by gram) as long as they haven't begun to rot - in fact, one of my fondest memories entails splitting an 1/8th of aborts with a skeptical friend in the back seat of a car on the way home from a party.
He quickly learned that 'big caps' don't mean shit.
Enjoy.
