 My first time growing - with kit. Need help quick, please!

Hey, I recently bought a shroom kit and I'm just about done the Pasteurization step, and moving on to the Spawning. The kit was in the dark for 12 days to allow the mycelium to grow through the substrate and appear white on the top layer, though when I finally took it out, only about 70% of it all was covered in the mycelium. Is this going to be a problem? Should I wait longer so the entire thing is covered with mycelium before moving on to the step where I put the casing soil on top of it all?
Any help would be nice, thanks!

100% colonization is practically a requirement for applying a casing layer.

So....should I just put it back in the dark and wait a few more days? Will more come with time?

Alright cool. So I guess I'll just put it back in the dark and hope the whole thing gets covered. Will anything go wrong if I leave it there for too long?
Oh, and, will me checking up on it (which involves some exposure to light), effect anything?
