Preparing for 1st grow, one specific noob question 1

Hey all, been lurking here periodically since 2006 and after a hilariously botched attempt when I was a teenager (managed to stab myself with syringe which resulted in cartoonish blood-spurting in glove box...cap was stuck on really tight ), things have aligned for me to attempt again.
Plan is to inoculate rye bags and spawn into two tubs. I have a walk-in closet with metal rack shelves and all supplies ready to go. Pic below.

What I'm wondering is, as far as grow room cleanliness, how recommended/necessary is it that I remove other items also occupying the closet? Shelf unit is on one side with nothing hindering it but currently I have a bunch of stuff perched on shelves above and hung on other side of closet. If it's not an issue then it would be great if everything could stay, but I'm not trying to take any needless risks.
Appreciate any input!

Not that necessary. As long as you do your clean work in a SAB, you should be fine in a regular closet environment. I do all my myco stuff in my bedroom. Inoculating, agar transfers, spawning, everything, and dont have any problems.

If you can provide adequate lighting and air movement than it shouldn't be an issue. Clean spawn and coir substrates are pretty contam resistant, most issues come from dirty spawn so if your sterile tek is good you should be fine.
unrelated advice: go on the drier side when hydrating your coir
Happy cultivating

I don’t feel it’s necessary to remove other items. That looks exactly like my walk in closet/grow space. I haven’t had any problems.

Ive stabbed myself too with a spore syringe (it was an empty one). The good spore syringes are blunt-tip, those are my favorite types. Your closet looks good to me

Lighting wasn't pictured but exists and will be on 12/12 timer and all that good stuff. As far as air exchange what are your thoughts? Should I introduce a fan at some point? I'm gonna be using BODtek, flipped lids + fruiting conditions @spawn...

Cultivation never uses fans, well expected heated fans for shroom drying.
If you're FC is designed correctly, you dont need fans for FAE.
