Growing pains- Shroom Wizard's Guide

Hey everyone, first time here, and I'm having a bit of trouble with the Shroom Wizard guide.
A friend and I got some birdseed cakes from a guy before he went off to jail, along with a tub full of supplies. We followed the shroom wizard guide which I now realize is pretty bad. Along with vermiculite and soil, we added some peat moss, maybe 15% into the soil mixture and put them in shoebox sized rubbermaid containers with a lid. We got them fairly wet, we can see moisture on the walls of the containers. We planted them about a week ago, and so far, no cobwebs are there (although there were some small ones a few days ago).
Is there anything we should do to get these to grow? Is having them sealed with a lid on good or bad? We have them in a closet so its room temp, but we planned on adding a light source today since they've been in the dark, although the lid isn't see through but the sides of the container are. We have 1-2 good sized cakes (size of fist or greater) in each container. We've only opened 1 container to look at so far, we sterilized the tubs, but the soil and water have not been sterilized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I realize y'all probably want to see something cool from something you got for free, but you've really got to start at the beginning with the basics; & then start reading all of RR's notes. It's all time well spent if you want to be serious about this stuff.

Yeah, I realized we need to use that method, I was just hoping we could get at least a few to sprout so I can make some spore prints.

IMO the stuff you've got would be better off left outside in some area & you might get lucky way down the line that it will just fruit; but even if somehow you got a spore print from it, you would still need the proper set-up to grow anything from that anyways. So all things considered, make the investment in the proper equipment to start growing, get your spores from a reputable seller, & start your new hobby out right.

Well he has info on how to take care of what you have going on... The issue I see is you probably have too much moisture, and dirt normally isn't something you want to use... your growing mushies, not plants.
Did you pasteurize anything? is this an outdoor grow?
