Am I doing this wrong (Case grow with coir)

Hey Shroomery,
A week ago or so, I made an ultra-low-budget attempt at a grow case. I cut a spent cake into many small pieces, and buried them in about 2 1/2 inches of moist coir, in a big container with four 2 inch holes. I used cotton balls to cover up the holes and allow air out without letting dust and large contaminants in (don't figure it kept small particles out), since I couldn't afford any kind of microfilament filter to cover them with.
After being covered with a big quilt for a week in total darkness, I opened the container and saw that the mycelium seemed to be doing pretty good. However, I know almost nothing about case grows, so I don't know if this is what it looks like when it's going well, if there's any problems, how to fix them, etc. Can you guys take a look and tell me if it's all going okay, and what I need to do if it's not?

The info you are reading is old enough to have Alzheimer's... Cotton balls are a terrible idea... Cut open a teddy bear and get the poly out, take the quilt off because light is beneficial to myc at all stages...

Back in the dark ages of mycology people called bulk trays casings for some reason...
