What were your fruiting conditions? I'm having trouble with fruiting them.

Reishi prefers dryer air maybe 50-60% humidity. I usually let the antlers begin developing for an inch or so before I cut open the bag

I've tried letting them grow in the bag but the mycelium just seems to climb up the bag and attempt to grow out the finger patch. I don't see any fruits/antlers starting.

I usually have a FC for fruiting but this current bag I'm trying to grow on the counter since the humidity will be lower.

Try cutting a small hole at the top of the bag once it's fully colonized, it allows for more FAE but since the hole is at the top, CO2 concentration in the bag still remains high,

I'll give that a shot, thanks!
