First time growing oysters

hi everyone, i am trying to grow oyster for the first time and i need some help, here is my build:

now i have a very hot substrate right now, they are like 30-32 Celcius i guess ( i dont have a meat thermometer but i can feel the heat when i touch them so if it is hot enough to alert my thermonerves it should be around that). is this okay?
i poked 4-5 holes on everyside with a pencil which i guess 0.5cm in diameter, are these enough for GE?
thank you i am looking forward for your responds

is that a storage bin stuffed full of straw covered in trash bags?
Some more info would be helpful. Species, substrate, process, timeline, ambient temp ect.
get a thermometer your going to need it.
Welcome gourmet!

it is something like this: http://wwwi.globalpiyasa.com/lib/Urun/670/482e5348f902cef812308d3bcd49bf5d.jpg
it should be normal oyster, nothing special like blue, king, yellow or etc. i am using coir&verm as substrates. i mixed app. 10kg of spawn with 80 liters of spawn. it was 3 days ago. ambient temps is about 23C in days, 20C at nights.
Thank you

10kg of grain spawn?! dam straight its going to run hot. A good oyster strain only needs 2-10% spawn for pasteurized sub. Separate the bins and set them up on block off the ground and point a fan at them. You can cook the mycelium in the center if it gets too hot.
If you can obtain hard wood fuel pellets or straw it is better oyster chow imo.

i tought people are spawning that ratio because of commercial reasons , i did it like p.cubensis, anyway i put them to my balcony and on chairs. and they are like this now :

can you please look to my new pics? do they seem okay? also can you please tell me about GE holes, are they enough to poke 4-5 pen-sized holes every side of that bin ?

Hole pattern seems fine. I can't see the sub through bag well. As long as the mycelium is running with no mold your OK. With that spawn rate it won't be long.
