Denver fairly recently decriminalized mushrooms and I got a grow kit on a whim.

I'm now sitting on a bunch of mushrooms and I don't know what to do. I've got info on microdosing, but I don't know anything else. The last time I had shrooms was at a concert probably 20 years ago and it was just a bag. Given the increased potency of marijuana I'm reluctant to do anything with them. Any guidance would be appreciated!

So if some are growing faster than others, should I let them linger, or should I dehydrate them? growing faster

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.
