Must you take a potion ingredient from a shelf once you meet its requirement, or collect ingredients each turn?

No. Gathering is optional. The rules say you are allowed to take an ingredient, so you may leave it on the shelf. There is no way to bank ingredients, so collecting only helps if a Dark Arts Potion needs them soon.
