I leave the small ones (2" or less) to grow, to spore, or for other hunters to find. We find enough in the overall season that I'm fine leaving some behind.

Shroomster, check them again in a few days. They should be pickable by then. If you're in a spot where they are safe from other hunters, I'd even let them go a week. They all lighten up as they grow, so given the right growing conditions even those little grays will become big foots.
