Hey guys. I've been harvesting my cakes, and often there are shrooms that have grown towards the bottom that have what I would consider like a long "root" that goes under the cake and is anchored on the bottom. It comes off with the shroom when I harvest, but I was not sure if this portion of the mushroom had any psilocybin or psilocin in it. I've been keeping them and drying them with my batches, but wasn't sure if I should just cut the "root" off instead. Any thoughts?
It sounds like a peice of the mycelial network, its useless once you tear it out. Try twisting the base of the fruit more before you pull.

Thanks PW. That may be one reason why my shrooms seemed "weak." I have been pulling out the whole thing and drying them, therefore, 3.5 gs may be more like 2.5 gs. Appreciate it.
<3 Good work!
