I find these oddly pleasing to look at. Maybe I'm just a sucker for rounded corners...

Thank you so much for this. I definitely have a better idea of what to look for. I see exactly what you mean regarding the linkage. I have yet to see that system for limiting the radial movement. I love the elegant simplicity. I haven't had any problems with my current chain, but I will definitely incorporate these elements into the next chain I print.

Great points. I appreciate the critique. Can you recommend a design that ameliorates the issues you mentioned?

I printed one for my Ender 3 v2, and it works flawlessly for mitigating the issues you described.

Thanks for the info. I've never heard that about PE, but that makes sense given their morphology. Admittedly I have only ever grown more vanilla cubes, so I wouldn't have much knowledge there... The early veils are another new one for me. I agree that test would be more appropriate there.

It's always cool to learn from someone with more information. Thanks for enlightening me.

I can't give you a direct answer there. Psilocin distribution is not entirely consistent. As another user stated, drying makes predicting the potency more of a possibility.

ETA: The spores are what the mushroom releases. You will likely see a dark stain form beneath that mushroom. That stain will be comprised of thousands of spores. The part that you consume is the mushroom itself.

That's a fair approach. I get not wanting to mess with success. If you want to continue growing in the future, consider investing in an SGFC or monotub setup. Both are inexpensive and will allow you to achieve much higher yields.

If you have already harvested them and don't plan on eating them fresh, then you should dehydrate them. If they are still on the substrate, it's okay to harvest the fruits individually. It's important to dry them as immediately as possible in order to preserve the psilocin.

Edit: I just saw your picture. The fruit in the back is ready for harvest, as its veil has broken. The rest are still not quite mature. When you do decide to harvest any of the fruits, make sure to use a flame sterilized scalpel/blade and cut as close to the substrate as possible.
