Are Sclerotia supposed to show?

Hey guys, I have 2 tampanensis growbags growing. It's been about 10 weeks since I inoculated them and I was thinking of opening one up in about a week. The thing is though is that I don't see any sclerotia on the outside. The mycellum look healthy and they smell fine and everything but I just don't physically SEE any sclerotia. Here's some pics: Bag1:
 Bag2:
Both Bags:

So what's up, are the sclerotia just inside or am I not looking at the right things?

Ooooh really, how did you find them? Or am I blind at looking for these things, I can't differentiate between mycellum and the stones.

Plus 10 weeks isn't long anyway. The longer you wait the more visible they'll be. Such as this right here.

Which one, bag 1 or 2? I can't really wait much longer, at the end of summer I'm gonna have togive up the shroom game for a loooong time(5 years, a decade? maybe more). So I figured I'd end it with these bad boys. I've been growing for awhile.I only need enough for 3-4 trips now, plus I'm a light weight, I use about the equivalent of 1-1.5 grams for each trip. Do you think I could open them in a week and find that amount? If it helpsit's actually been 11 weeks so it'll be 12 by the time I open it.

Well, until they produce you won't get much. But you could open 'em up sterile and extract what you want or find then close again...

You have more than two months until summer is over. I'd only open one bag.
Are you confident you will know what a small stone looks like?

Stones are just now starting to form. I think I can see some in your pics but definitely give them another month or two (or ten).

If you really have to, I would suggest you only open the smaller bag. Pick out the stones as carefull as possible, so that the rest keeps growing. If the 'myc network' stays intact, the remainder will keep on growing like it did. If it gets destroyed, it will stall for a week or so.
Right now I have a 3 months old jar, that is producing an insane amount. But it only has just begun. I am recording growth of maybe 0.5grams a week per stone.
The stones that you can see on the outside should look like the inside of a walnut (white beige, sometimes darker brown) and most of the times have a strong waving mycelial network around them. The six spots on the 2nd picture look like stones.
With some luck you would find maybe 6-10 grams. If you want another week, you will find 12-14 grams and so on.

Spawn one to bulk and you'll get loads of the best mushrooms you've ever tried. The stones will grow incredibly fast after spawning to boot!

Both have some, bag two has more mature looking ones. I would wait though. You'll enjoy them more with a little age on them.

Ok guys thanks for the advice, I can wait about another month before I would have to open one bag (probably bag 1). At that point I would only need enough for the equivalent of 3 2 gram trips for cubes. So I'm sure there would be enough by then. I really appreciate the advice

Thanks for the pic that helps a lot, now I know what I'm looking for. As for the the jail thing, I'm not going to jail but I'm kind of going on a retreat from the drug game for a bit. Mushrooms open up this whole new amazing world but the problem for me is that if I keep doing shrooms I'm relying on something else to keep opening it up for me. I'm so grateful that they showed me the way but now it's time for me to go on my own and see this new world without a crutch. I know this sounds abstract and all gooey but that's how it is

I've done that. It didn't really make any difference and I usually thought I would have been better off continuing with the mushrooms, as the "new" world stayed open all by itself but I wasn't having nearly as much fun. But I know what you mean.
