Mature mushrooms drop a billion spores a day and picking them doesn't harm the mycelium. They will be ok.

Picking them right, doesn't harm mycelium.

Digging them out and leaving the mycel exposed for examole, is bad. Cover them up again please.

And mushrooms need a lot of spores, because for a new mushroom, 2 spores have to come together by chance.
