Kit is not placed near the oven, but its generally hot in the apartment. bet its 25-8 degrees. Still "colder" than outside.
I made a bit bigger wholes with a knife. BTW how often should I mist it? Only on the bag side or is it fine it mist a bit shrooms as well?
No scale, but plan is to buy it in next 2 days. Thought someone have enough experience to tell me "approximately" what I can hope for 
But, those which are grown now, they should be able to give me a trip? Shall I remove that white ting or I can eat that as well?

Yeah it would be better if I tweaked the bag, but getting the kit meant for me to have to do no work, didn't care to have somewhat bigger mushrooms or that it's expensive, just that it was enough to trip.

Needs more FAE most likely I got a grow kit to help understand the basics of cultivating my own, currently working on an automated terrarium too! I'm using an air filter bag from Zamnesia or something along those lines. From what I understand it helps keep contams out, while keeping decent gas exchange. However, I have found that opening the bag once a day and almost flapping the sides of it to help the FAE is really working a charm, misting everyday too. The black card the box is on, is a lamp inside a shoebox with black card either side, and the box rests on three pencils underneath the bag obviously I regularly check the temperature of the box by holding my hand against the bottom of the box. If the temperature is very slightly warm (room temp) then it's spot on! They're getting rlly big now, been two weeks today since I started the grow kit. Won't be long before my first harvest!!

If you want to understand the basics of growing just read The Basics here: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=255&Number=19140341&fpart=1&PHPSESSID=
I'm glad you got some fruits out of your kit, as well as the guy beneath you. That being said, just grow with your own materials. It's cheaper and the rewards are greater. Success with a pre-made grow kit is like success with a condom you find laying in the street - you have to hope whoever had it last handled it properly and if not you're fucked.
Please realize your advice to OP isn't really pertinent at this point at all. This thread died a year ago. When you tried to post in it, I know a warning came up that said this thread is super old, do you really have a good reason to bump it? You said yes, but why? Showing off success with a pre-made grow kit is like walking into a tattoo shop and showing off your stick-on temporary tattoos, to use another member's analogy. It also gives other newcomers hope that paying over $100 for a grow kit is a good idea and will turn out better than using their own materials for much cheaper. It usually doesn't work out like it did for you, a quick search will show that.
If you want to contribute, there's plenty of threads where people are asking questions and discussing topics that aren't over a year old. This is about mushroom cultivation. Learn how to really cultivate, and participate in the current threads as you do. I know you can do it.

Pick those pin points and eat them all of um. Fridge them in a brown bag, or dry them hot and quick. Soak that white thing for 8 hours and not to many holes in your bag kit.

Thanks dude. I bought the kit before I knew anything about how to cultivate my own (and while I was rlly baked), and since have read a lot of threads regarding building terrariums and cultivating.
Keep in mind bud I'm completely new to this forum, and still have yet to figure out how to make proper posts which are beneficial to people. I noticed this was one of the only threads I could find after work regarding grow kits and people who've maybe not quite got as lucky as I did (thought a little advice from first time grower to first time grower might be quite nice, even ground and what not). I bumped the thread because I thought, hey, seen as this is an old thread it would be a good start to practice how to interact with everyone on this lovely site.
I'm not showing off any success either, I was lucky af to even get anything growing from my kit, I found that out literally the day after purchasing the kit haha. I was simply replying to an old thread to get an idea for how to write posts on this site. (also, I paid around £30 for my kit, which as far as I'm aware isn't anywhere near $100). Also, for someone who doesn't necessarily have the time to work with their growery (I'm practically never at home, either work or out and about engulfing myself in the beautiful place I live), a grow kit seemed like a safe starting option while I looked into how to do create a fully automated system.
"This is about mushroom cultivation" So you're saying my post wasn't about mushroom cultivation? "Learn how to really cultivate" If you read my post you'd understand that I'm in the process of building my own automated terrarium?.. I'll participate in current threads when I have something worthy of discussing, hence why I thought practicing a post based on an old thread would be a good way to start.
Not being hasty in anyway, just thought people would be a bit more considerate and motivating, rather than jumping to conclusions and trying to put holes in my sail :P
Peace dude

Monotub is the only automated chamber. Attempting to create an automated chamber when you have not been taught what proper fruiting looks like is just bad dude. Stick to a tek and learn what they want. And when I started, I just bought some spores and inoculated grain jars. It took about a week of reading before I felt confident enough to do it. It was my own dedication and love of cultivating that got me my first fruits from scratch.
Kits literally are rubbish. They don't teach you anything about sterility when needed (spawn and inoc), they don't teach you what proper fruiting conditions should look and feel like, they're way overpriced.. Kits are nothing like real cultivation. Real cultivation is the study and understanding of this fungi. A kit is for someone to get starved of FAE mushrooms for getting high. Even your fruits look fuckin starved of FAE.
Not trying to dampen your thoughts, but no it isn't what I consider cultivation, in fact it feels like an insult to the time and hardwork put into cultivation.
