 1st project.......no clue

so this is my first experience growing. I bought a mushroom magic. grow bag from (edited) and a syringe of dakak beach from the same source. I sterilized everything, and innoc'd the bag w/ 5cc's. that was almost 4 days ago, and i'm not quite sure what to look for. there's no visible mycelium yet, but I know there is a germination time. and I injected the center of my grain, so I know any growth will take longer to see. I can see some condensation inside the bag in some places. so I assume this is good and means there is gas exchange in there. the top of the bag stays inflated on its own. no sign/smell of anything wrong. no sign of anything at all. my bag is kept in roughly 75-80 degrees, with the lower being at night. also, does it need to be in total darkness at this stage? I get mixed info on this. am I on the right track, or am I missing a step. any input from the pros would be greatly appreciated. Jdork out!

Hi, please edit out your source, spores are sold For Microscopy Only, cultivation is illegal.
Four days is nothing, put it somewhere and don't look at it for at least another week.
You don't need light, and you don't need darkness.
The light question already came up in the Q & A thread, so I'm going to link you there:

Also, spores are potent. Don't shoot so much.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

thanks for the contribution. I edited source as asked. sorry for that. I never had much respect for laws. I know the light source question was answered. I've gotten a lot of useful info from here. yall are teaching me quite a lot. thank yoy. I was just wondering if anybody had a preference to light vs dark for best mycelium growth. this is an awesome new hobby. im loving it

Don't put the bag anywhere above about 80F. 75-78 would be better, imho.

NO. You want under 80 , they say 83+ will actually slow colonization and boost contam rates .. sit back relax and do some research.
