concerns for my upcoming mushroom grow

I plan on growing mushrooms with a friend but I have some concerns 1) what kind of light should the jars be exposed to when mycelium is growing? 2) what kind of light should the cakes be exposed to when in the fruiting chamber? 3) we will probably grow in his closet which I heard could be a problem for FAE. If we have a foot of space on every side of the chamber and maybe a fan on will that be enough?

Mycelium likes light all through the grow. 6500k range.
For closet growing I use two fans to create a circular air current. I haven't experimented with just one but if I did it would be the one on top. I angle them so that stale pockets of air are moved out of the corner of the closet.

But that's just how I do it. Your closet may look way different and you may have to experiment to get it right.

those are the kinds of questions I would answer before thinking about growing. 
it's really the basics you should easily happen to find this information just dicking around looking up some stuff
1. ambient 2. bright 3. build an appropriate FC, SGFC don't work with fans. monotubs do. figure out what you want to do.

lol, right, cakes... I never did cakes and assumed since he needed a fan he was doing a mono.

If anything is a concern, then that would be it. And not a small one either.
