Golden Teacher in Mycobag from Magic-Spores.com - Need help~!

Hey guys, glad to join the forum. I just wanted to post some pics of some mushrooms I grew with my girlfriend. We bought the mycobag from Magic-Spores.com . It came with 2 Syringes of the Golden Teacher strain. The site seemed reliable enough and it looks like it's not doing too bad. But what do you guys think?
I inoc'd with 10cc on October 10th. It's now December 5th and we have some pretty sick pins.
Each pic is a day or 2 apart.




Let me know guys thanks!

Is that just moist dirt on the walls? Looks like a chocolate ice cream sundae. But definite shroom growth!

Yes the darkness in the pics is just moist dirt. Is that bad? There is no foul odors coming from the bag, but it looks the same as when I got it except now its covered in some white cotton candy.
Here' the details on the mycobag which I got from Magic-spores.com

Our "Mushroom Magic Kit" finally makes growing mushrooms indoors easy! Grow all your favorite edible mushrooms simply by injection 2-10CC's of liquid culture or spore solution into the self-healing injection port right on the bag! This bag consists of 2lbs. of ideal mushroom growing media (ground up rye, corn, coffee, pH balancers, vermiculite for moisture balance, etc.) which grows mushrooms VERY easily! Grow mushrooms RIGHT IN THE BAG with the included casing layer. Includes breathable filter patch for air exchange, full written directions, and a spray bottle. After 3 weeks you'll harvest roughly 1lb. of mushrooms or 2oz. dry of your favorite culinary mushrooms!
If you guys need me to take more pictures let me know.

Any advice on fighting metabolites? Or killing the bacteria? I keep the bag under a daylight bulb and a fish tank light at 75-79 degrees. I spray the top layer with a small spray bottle twice a day lightly. I try to keep the humidity in the room in the high 60s or anywhere above 30 as directed by the directions they sent.
Also another question, will touching the dirt in the bag screw it up? Contam it or anything?

Hey I bought exactly the same stuff from the same vendor and everything only a few months ago. 20cc of GT with two grow bags.
I cased it and its looking good.
Problems I had though with the bag. 1. it gets to dense for the mycillium to really fully colonize so make sure you shake it up a few times 2. the substrate they use in that bag does have some strange looks to it. but once its out and cased in fruiting conditions It was just that "looks" Best of luck Ill let you know how mine turn out you do the same!

eh, you got pics of it fruiting?
that bag needed to be fruited a week ago.
for max yield you should of mixed it in some coir/verm which would require you to do some of your own work

I use bags a lot for colonizing.using a tit in the winters here for incubation in the low 70 f range... I cut the bag around the top of the substrate. then place in a sgfc. works well. even better if you remove from bag and fruit as a big cake...fae is vital at this point. fruit as soon as you see hyphal knotting, or earlybird pins...just my experience with bag growing...good luck there man...

Thanks for replying guys.
I'm not too worried about max yield. We're just growing for the fun and science. Maybe with some tea.
What is fae? sgfc?
I will post some more pics soon. I am seeing some rapid growth from one particular mushroom growing from behind the sticker on the part of the pictures above you cant really see.
Do I pick any mushrooms before the others are 'done'?
Again, thanks for the replies guys. Really appreciate it. 420

Dude pull it out of the bag and set it up to fruit your jusy wasting time leaving it in there. Just figure out which style of fruiting chamber you want to use and go from there

I have no clue what those bags are, are they used to break up and spawn? or just open it? if it has shrooms growing gotta do something, they are suffocating in there

They're growing pretty fast. and actually the bag is supposed to give 3-5 flushes, so I'm not sure why I would want to take them out.. Should I?
The top of the bag is cut off, humidity @ 45-90 Temp @ 75-80 
Will they really suffocate? Could the mushrooms die if we don't pick them in time?
What should I do guys!? I'm freaking out! 
Thanks for the replies(: sorry for my beginner experience. Everyone's gotta start somewhere.
When will I know when the first flush is done? Will it be when all the mushrooms look grown enough to pick? or..?

Yes, the mushrooms will rot if you don't pick them shortly after the veil tears.
Get a fruiting chamber set up so that you can crack that sucker open and get some mushrooms!
