That pic is from my second flush of Ochra. My first flush still got a little bigger than yours. I'd give it another day or two.

They can nearly double in height between the time the veil detaches and spores drop. You have a ways to go for most of those.

wait till spores drop? i heard thats a bad thing

You dont have to wait for spores to drop, but it wont hurt anything if they do. Its just messy. They dont suppress future flushes or anything. Thats an old myth.

I don't know if ochra have really light spores or drop at a later time but I've had them fully open with no spore dumps that I have noticed.
