Title: palenque ready to pick?
Post by: eile|js on May 08, 2009, 07:48:32 AM
Hi everybody,

It's my first time growing shrooms. But when are the palenque ready to pick?
My shrooms have been growing for around 7 days now.

Here is a picture of them.

I'm on my first grow too, with Cambodians. It is best to pick them when the veil breaks away from the cap, and the cap is open, that's what I've done. You also want to get them out before the spores drop into your FC.

but do the palenque form a typcal mushroom hood or do the stay round like now, because I saw the hymenium on a couple of my shrooms for some days now.

Wait for the caps to open up.
