Black pearl fruits/chestnuts

I’ve got black pearl fruiting for the first time right now, they took forever.

So they like doubled in size since I took that picture yesterday, I felt one today and it’s pretty soft. I’m wondering if that’s normal because Kings are so solid.
Also any tips on cooking these? I know they’re pretty new still.
For the chestnuts I’m wondering if they’ll pin in the bag or if I need to roll the bag up and cut some slits in it.
And how long do they take to pin? It’s been weeks since fully colonized but nothing seems to be happening yet.

Ive fruited like 3-4 chestnut bags in the last week or some. Actually I had one bag start too fruiting. Probably harvested a pound or so yesterday. But I have 3 more pinning where I slit the bag and they seem to be making much bigger clusters, but the fruits I got off the first bag were actually pretty large compared to other pics I've seen,but I probably waited a day or two longer than I should have to harvest them. The bags I slit seemed to pin in a week. But that included a 4 day power outage too and idk what that did to them.

I was going to post a pick of what I harvested off that blank bag but I forgot. But a bag or two didn't even colonize as much as it could have. I think I saw a couple pins before I opened the first one, not so with the others
Those pearls look dank too. I haven't had a chance to try them yet but I know those are great for meat substitutes or even scallops. I think scallops would be nice to try.
How long did the pearls take to pin? How are you fruiting them?

Ok cool my chestnut block looks similar just no pins yet.
The black pearl is just in the bag with the top clipped. I think it’s about a month old now.

Nope just a bag sitting on a shelf with some lights.
I open them to mist every day or two. I have single digit humidity a lot of the time though.

Well these turned out much better than I thought they would based on how the pins looked.

Yeah it was pretty crazy. Especially since they took forever to pin.

Ok so just for future reference the chestnut took forever. Idk if it’s normal or not but I gave up on them and set the block in the garage and forgot about it.
A few days ago I checked and it had pins so I cut the bag off and put it in a mono tub heavily misted, and here it is today.

Nice. I think its normal for them to have a 20-30 day ripening phase.
