Are shrooms profitable?

First time trying to grow mushrooms. These 2 pictures occurred over 2 days. How do you know when to harvest? Can they be harvested as they grow or do you harvest all at once when the cake is covered in mushrooms?

I see a lot of pins down there! Pick any that starts dropping spores and leave the rest for 2 weeks. If the little ones don't get bigger in the next 4 or 5 days pick em they are more potent then the whole batch. Just be careful if they are not growing they die and mold FAST!

For sure. Lightly grab.and twist off at its base. Trh not to damage the.white.mycellium. Or.take.a sharp knif and cut it as close to the base/mycellium (substrate).

Do NOT cut it, that pice could rot and mold.

Fist time dose always depends.. What specie is it? What temp did they fruit? When did you pick them? And for most are they hollow or solid? All this takes a place in how hard you trip off 2 grams. I have tripped balls off just 2.5 grams dry like I just took 7gs from golden teachers I grew 3 years ago.

Iv got 200 off on a deal here 275 when they really want em but you will do 25 to 50 years for growing in the states even with 50g wet

Lol...so I gave growing mushrooms a try. But my noob ass didn't notice that the brown rice flour said "gluten free." Assuming I did everything else right is the gluten free a deal breaker?

shrooms can be worth a ton of money in some places, find a guy what sells himself and sell in bulk

There is no gluten in rice. This gluten free stuff is nuts. I saw a gluten free label on bottled water.
