so should i keep and eat the stems when i pick them? what about making a spore print? should i keep the stems after that, too?
man you can eat the whole mushrooms, thats the purpose of growing them the spore print you have to wait until the cap is fully opened, flat , then you put it gills down on a sheet of clean paper , wait a few hours, then millions of spores will be on the sheet. They are purple generally. For the most potent shrooms , you have to pick em just when the veil is about to tear (cap opens) , after that they keep growing, but no more psilocybin is produced. No sporeprint can be made at this stage of growing though. Then with 2.5g youll probably be flying. They sell food dehydrators at walmart for like 40 bucks best thing to use to dry your crop.
I believe there is more Psilocin in the caps to begin with, but Psilocybin turns to Psilocin when it goes through your body anyways: If you weren't just asking if they are more potent and you meant are they visualy more potent, then.. nobody knows. They seem to give you a more visual trip but there's no reason anyone can find as to why. I think it might be a placebo thing, but I had my doubts and when I tried it, I was pretty wrong..
