Alright, I have a homestead easy grow kit going right now. Took about 6-7 weeks for the rye pack to finish, and now after 2 weeks in the compost I'm seeing little mushrooms. I have a couple of questions as this is the first time I've ever done anything with mushrooms.
1. The instructions say to pick them before the veil breaks. How easy will it be to tell that they are ready to be picked? Will they all be ready to pick at the same time?
2. When I pick them, do I remove the whole stem or just the caps?
3. What the hell do I do with them then? Dry them? Eat them fresh? How much? Do they need to be washed? Eat the whole thing, stem and all, or just the caps? Remember it's my first time.
Thanks for any help.
