how am i suppose to know when my cambodian psilocybe cubensis mushrooms are ripe for the picking. ive heard different things but i wanted to know what you guys thought. By the way, im using the casing method. thanks.

When the veils start to tear away from the stem, the ratio of size to potency isn't going to get any better so any point past that is just going to waste your nutrients.

I usually pick right before the veils break away from the cap. To avoid having messy spores all over the place.
