How stupid is it to send fruits via mail? I wanna send my friend some but I have obvious concerns. Does USPS UPS FEDEX x ray? Would I get into legal trouble or would they just dispose of the package?

So, it's none of my business if one wants to break the law.

UPS and Fed ex are private corporations whose terms of service say they can look in your shit...USPS is federal and need a warrant but the postmaster general gets them like candy, WHEN THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE...if nobody knows and there is no weed scent on the package, I don't know why it would get flagged

I would. I don't see any harm in it. A little Fae will just help it finish colonizing quicker and get it ready to fruit.

If it's healthy enough I think it's okay.

I tend to open my bags when they're about 80 or 85%. Because like you said it does seem that they can start going really slowly when you're waiting for them to finish up.

I waited like 2 weeks for one to finish up and I swear I only saw a group like every 4 days which is pretty slow. finally I cut it. I literally Days Later pens were popping up and everything was finishing. and that was that really good bag that I had fruit not too long ago.

Thanks my friend yeah in my one expierence with it I'd tend to agree. Mine was only at like 60% last time when I cut it and thr top substrate layer colonized much quicker after introducing fae.

Luckily you have a little more expierence then I do and it's good to know you see that consistently.

I'll cut it tonight ^^ thanks

Light is beneficial in all stages.
Mycelium fruits on agar dishes, there's no gas exchange let alone fresh air exchange.
You don't induce fruiting - the only thing you have to do is avoid competitors, the mycelium does all the work, he wants to live and sporulate - mycelium only fruits when colonises all nutrition available, if it fruits before it means it has company and wants to get the fuck out of there ASAP, resulting in poor or interrupted flush.
Having said this, you can slit the bag but pinning only starts after the surface is colonised and more FAE also means more evaporation and less water available for fruits.
Patience is bitter, but its fruits are sweet

I know this is a nitpick, but agar plates definitely have gas exchange. Most of the petri dishes you can buy have vented lids (little notches that cause a tiny gap between the lid and the dish), Pasty plates have filtered holes,  and holy grail cups do not have air tight threads.

Anecdotally, I've noticed different looking (wispier) growth on the same plate after opening it, if I wrap it with more layers of parafilm than before.

As for slitting open a bag before full colonization, that seems like a pretty bad idea if the substrate was supplemented (not sure if manure would matter). If it was just a bag of coir and clean spawn though, it doesn't seem any different from spawning to a tub in open air and having EZ dial holes. Might be trickier to dial the bag slits.
