First ever grow, is my shoebox okay?

First ever grow. These are Golden Teacher that was from a spore print to agar. From the first agar I made a couple transfers and dropped the rest into some oats (so is this considered an MS grow?). Then from the oats I spawned to bulk on Sept 7th, using coir and verm. These pictures are from last night.
Let me know if these are looking good. I was to scared to open the lid, didnt want any contam so these shots are from the outside of the box.





Is there anything I should do or just leave them alone? I appreciate the help!!!

Looks good for day 4. Leave it be. Patience is the name of the game.

Yes that us considered an ms grow. Once you spawn the only way a contam will show is if it was in the spawn.
Those are looking good. A little dry, but good. Let them do their thing

Please leave it here. It helps keep the search function tidy

So don’t touch the lid. I read casing is not necessary unless it’s PE. Appreciate you guys!!

Alright folks of shroomery!!! Here is an update!!! I haven’t done nothing to the box except maybe peak at it through the side every 30 minutes (my wife is getting jealous...). I just opened the lid about an hour ago to take these photos.

What say you wise shroomery scholars??? Anything to change? When should I add lighting, or should I have started it right away since (we) don’t differentiate from colonizing / fruiting?? I just spawned another shoebox The other day of PE, this time I lined it and still adding a thin casing to cover top layer of oats to provide a better environment. If I start light now for the shoebox of golden teacher would it trigger/bother the fresh PE shoebox or doesn’t matter. Going to add a casing layer to the PE once colonized of jiffy 50/50.

Looks really good. It should have light the whole process so definitely get that going. It should start knotting up anytime now.

For those who would like to see the update. Here is some photos from last night 9/17/20.
     
Also I introduced the lighting. I have a bright 6500k daylight in my closet running on a 12/12 schedule. Only problem that I'm seeing is the temp in the closet sits around 79-80 degrees. Does anyone have a link to light that works for pinning/fruiting and that doesn't run hot?

Find an led bulb. Those stay pretty cool.
80% isn't a deal breaker. Fruits may just be fluffier and faster

Yeah looks good.
They really don’t need a whole lot of light, I would try dropping the temp a little if it’s possible but it’s fine. I didn’t see any real problems until my stuff was around 85 constantly even at night.

Yay! Mush love for the feedback!! Here are photos I just took right now. Can anyone tell me what those little white dots or balls. Is that knotting (sorry noob question)? Anything I should do or just leave me alone?

Cheers!

Multiple pins and plenty of knots. You’re good man. It’ll progress nicely.

Are the cluster of fibers that are reaching clumped together the knots, and are the little dots that showed up the starting part of pins? Sorry for the basic questions. I want to be able to identify these conditions or stages in the future.

I know the feeling! My boyfriend is finally starting to get used to the diversion of my attention. . .
And, the little dots are knots, soon to start turning into pins. I believe the clusters of fibers are just dense patches mycelium, but you'll probably get pins in those areas too.

Here goes a quick update!! How am is looking?
  
I know to harvest right before the veil tears away from the cap, but how long do you think we guys got until that happens? just looking for a rough estimate because I don't want the spores to drop.

I was gonna go the same route and cover the shoebox with plastic bags but my OCD kicked in. I couldn't get an answer with how many holes to poke, how big, how far apart, should I slice it.... so on and so forth. Then I found the post about just leave the lid on and unsnap it when the fruits start to come up. Easy peasy less for me to think about.
lol

Here is your daily update for anyone interested.
Spawned to bulk on 9/7/20
Pics taken last night 9/23/20. (day 16)
     
Question about harvesting. When the veils start tearing away from the cap, do I harvest all the fruits? even the smaller immature ones? Or just pick the mature ones and leave the small ones?

It’s all up to you. I usually suggest newer growers let the caps open fully and let some spores drop. This will ensure you get the most dry weight you can but also will let you judge in the future when you need to be worried about spores exploding.
They don’t just instantly go to crazy spore, you’ll get some warning dustings first.
I harvest everything at once because you’ll eventually start to see that even if you just harvest as they mature, the smaller mushrooms stay pretty small and it’s not worth it to have to come back later and get the rest. But I also have more mush than I can eat so I can do that easily and harvest round capped mushrooms that are a bit smaller than they could be just because they look better in the bag and take up less room.
If you only have a little bit o mush it’s probably worth it to get the most of out each grow and not worry about convenience and looks.
