The last few weeks sort of got away from me and I think I waited too long to harvest some of my hops. Do these still look usable?

I used some homegrown Mt Hoods last year that didn't look that different. I used the smell test hoppymonkey advocates and I took a little peek up the skirt to see if they were good to go. Peel up the bracts (hop flower layers/leafs) and see if there is any yellow dust/chunks. If the lupulin hasn't broken down or dropped out, you will still get your aroma/flavor.
