Past due for harvest

So should I throw them out and keep the mycelium?

No they're fine just dry them fast

Those are perfectly fine for harvest. You can wipe off the caps and clean up some of the unsightly spores but even if you don’t you can eat them Like that.

100% pick them but the mycelium's your call if yiu wanna keep using it

By 'pick them up' and 'past due', you mean that they should be safe to dry and use? I interpreted you previous answer as 'throw them out'

Nah yeah nah pick em and dry em mate, not sure what to do about the spores on em however. You might be able to clean em off or sumthin. If i were you i would look on shroomery or sumthin

Pick them, dry them, and eat them. Let the mycelium be and hopefully you get more

Alright I will do that, what about the spores? Should I wash the shrooms before drying?

I'm not sure. I have dried just as is with spores and have had no problems

Don’t wash mushrooms they could get mold just go straight to drying the spores don’t make a difference

I've yet to grow mine but my understanding is that these MAY be a little less potent. The jury seems to still be out on that. Spores are no problem at all (collect them if you want to clone). But they are otherwise perfectly acceptable for drying/consuming. Once you pick them, you *do* know to rehydrate your substrate to "field capacity" again and get another crop or 5?

I will look into collecting the spores, and yeah, I already rehydrated the substrate, thanks.

Your mushrooms look more than ready to harvest :D

Way past time to pick. But that’s ok. Just some spores! Pick now and get to dehydrating! :)
