I don’t believe so. But hopefully someone else has more insight.

Yeah I’m kinda leaning towards harvesting that small cluster as I don’t want black shrooms. Won’t mess anything up? Won’t lose out on much/any potency?

Harvest those couple and dry them overnight so they don’t go to waste

Well they'll probably drop spores by sunday which really does nothing but make them look a little worse. You can either harvest now and lose maybe a couple gs or harvest them with spores on em. Looks like some of those could double in size by the time they're ready

Even if you do have black shrooms, you can wipe the spores off with a paper towel or even give em a rinse before you throw them in the dehydrator. It's not a big deal.

You can clean the spores off. A little work but totally possible

Not worried about the growth, just don’t want black shrooms when I get home 😭 you think they’ll be ok yeah?

People say to harvest before spores drop because spores signal the mycelium to stop fruiting. This isn't true

How is it a myth? I always harvested before the veil breaks, can you hook me up?

Looks like they still have some growing to do 3 days isn't gonna hurt them

Dropped spores limiting growth is a myth

I’d only harvest the larger ones but the smaller ones should be okay.

Hi - I’m going away tomorrow and won’t be back until Sunday. My grow is still mainly pins but there’s a few I’m worried about leaving until I get back just incase they drop a load of spores. Any idea what I should do? Thanks :)
