Questions about mushroom growing and use.

I bought the grow kit and some spores from EDIT. P.C. Mexican B+ (Was supposed to be Amazon, but oh well.)

This is my first time growing, trying them at all even, so I'm not quite sure what to do at this point. I know how to take spore prints, and I plan on taking about five or six. The thing is, I don't know when to pick them for this. I've got some other questions too.

So, the question, when do I pick my mushrooms for use in spore prints?

When do I pick them for regular harvest? Earlier, or later?

How many grams (wet or dry) should I eat for a regular trip? Weak trip? Strong trip? Oh shit help me the walls are melting trip!

How much do you usually pay for mushrooms?

Anything else you can think of telling me for this? I'm aware Shroomery exists, but it's always been a maze to me.

The picture is my mushrooms as of this afternoon. They are normally kept in a mycobag, or whatever they're called.

So, the question, when do I pick my mushrooms for use in spore prints? Anytime the cap is fully open.

When do I pick them for regular harvest? Earlier, or later? For the most part, whenever you want. I grow them a bit differently than you, but I pick mine when the veil breaks so I don't have spores all over my compost.

How many grams (wet or dry) should I eat for a regular trip? Weak trip? Strong trip? Oh shit help me the walls are melting trip!

Dry weight, for your first time, i STRONGLY recommend half an 1/8, or no more than 2 - 2.5 grams at the most. For a first time, this is all you need. I've eaten them many times, and I can have just as much fun with 2.5 grams as I would with 5 grams. I don't usually eat them fresh. :confused:

How much do you usually pay for mushrooms? I don't pay for them ;) If I did, around me they are 30 -35 an 1/8

Anything else you can think of telling me for this? Check the shroomery ;)

Hope that helps
