MycoBags Fruiting too soon!

On 5/10 I inoculated a premade mycobag made from hpoo, straw, and grains with Red Boy MS and another with Creeper MS. They took forever to colonize which is partly my fault for A)Only using alittle more than 1cc per 3lb bag, B)Not Mixing the mix up after inoculation, and C)Not catching it at 15-20& to mix up
Although the entire bottom wasn't colonized, the Red Boys started showing signs of fruiting about a week ago and after a day or 2 put it under 12/12 light cycle. Now its about 95% done so I'm not really worried about that one anymore.
The Creeper started showing more signs than the red boy 2 or 3 days ago. It is only about 75% colonized. I keep it in the dark but it seems like it wants t fruit more and more.
I'm not really sure what I should do. Should I introduce light and hope it colonizes? Keep it in the dark? Any advice would be great!

Injecting sterile water and raising the temps would keep it from fruiting, if it's not too late that is. Bags were probably too dry and that affected colonizing time / early fruiting. Make your own bags man saves $ & Hassle!
Also I'd investigate LCs for large spawn bags, I used MS on rye jars and thought 3 weeks was a long time to wait!

This was actually well done.

This is complete nonsense.
Edit: You could have used more spore water but that's no problem. What the second poster said is complete fwpkojvko.

Thanks guys, I was actually considering it for a second. I decided to introduce the second bag to light today cuz I don't want to chance the pins never fruiting but there's still a lot left uncolonized.
Sorry about the blurry pics, I only have a camera phone.
Pins in the middle, kinda hard to see.

More Pins (The green is just light reflection)
