First grow - Bulking

High!
I have always been interested in mushrooms and all things organic. However my attention was focused on something else, and so I just recently got into growing mushrooms, and I am really excited about it.
I'm so lucky to have a friend that helps me out with everything, he also showed me Shroomery, which opened up a much bigger world for me!
Anyway, we decided to go with the bulking method, as my friend has good experience with this, and we could aquire what we need without much hassle. My first glass was inoculated with burma yesterday(5th of Feb), and I keep it in my bathroom where it can keep a steady temp at 27 degrees celcius, inside a couple of black bags to keep it dark for them.
I am crossing my fingers for good results, and can't wait to post pictures so you guys can see when there is anything to see in there!

Bathrooms are dirty Light can benefit mycelium in all stages of its life cycle.
Edit: I converted celsius to farenheit and that's too high of a temp. As long as it's above like 15.5 Celsius in your house it will be fine. Put it on a shelf that has ambient lighting

So you're saying I dont need to keep them in the dark?
The bags were also to keep it from getting dirty, I dont take the glass out in there either. It's kept there because it's the one place right now I can keep it at a steady temp. But should I consider another place, in your opinion?
Last thing I want is any contaminations.

Mr. Alien said: Give those bags jars indirect ambient light, ambient light is beneficial since day one of inoculation, with a 12 hours cycle. Mushrooms have a circadian rhythm, just like us...
Germination can take up to three weeks.
What are you using to provide gas exchange for your jars? (Polyfill, Tyvek, Synthetic Filter Disks) Yeah 80 Fahrenheit is too high. My spawn sits at 70 Fahrenheit in the jar on a shelf exposed to light, anything below 60 F is bad and I think you don't wanna go too far above 80 F I'm not positive on the warmer side of the spectrum.

Welcome. Yes, bathrooms are dirty. What exactly and how are you doing it?
Did you inoculate grain jars? Or are you using cakes to bulk?
It will help to know to be able to help you or give pointers or advice.
If they are jars and good sterile procedure was followed during inoculation, and the gas exchange hole(s) are properly filtered, it won't hurt them being in a bathroom.
But I would not put say a FC or Monotub in the bathroom.
And yes, light is beneficial during all stages of growth. (though not 100% necessary during colonization, mycelium seems to benefit from light.)
Room temperature, 65F-75F is just fine for all stages of growth for most psilocybe cubensis varieties.

Thanks for the replies, people!
We are using proper jars, for the filtering it's the jar's metal lid with a hole where we put in the filling in pillows. (dont remember the name, not cotton excactly.)
We inoculated in grain. More precisely bird seeds, with gypsum mixed in it.
And is it "burma cubensis" or do I just say "burma"? Hah, yeah.. You can almost touch the noobness here. :P
I will put my jar on a shelf in a more moderately tempered room and drop the black bags, then. Thank you!
And good luck to you too with your Escondido Mex, TheMultiverse44! 
EDIT: So after your tips I moved my jar to the bedroom where I can keep those temps you mentioned. This is how it looks, just so you can see.

that's where it belongs. It's okay if temperature fluctuates too, just keep the temp out of the extremes (below 60 F above 80 F)

So I came down with the flu, feeling a little better. It took some days for it to start growing, but wonders happened as I was laying in bed feeling sorry for myself.
Check it out I dont know why there's moist on one of the sides? Is that supposed to happen?
