Are these yellow spots normal/healthy?

No, they could be from bacterial spawn but probably from your surface being too dry

Do I need to mist?

Also another question:
I was hoping to make enough shrooms to eat for a year. My friend said they lose potency after a while. Is that true? Do I need to just grow as I go?

sometimes water beads will sit on top of the substrate and turn yellow. this will stain the white mycelium.

your mycelium looks healthy. mist when it appears dry.

direct light and oxygen will degrade potency over time. when dried and stored properly, your mushrooms should still be active after a year, but will be less potent as more time passes. 

ive had shrooms stored in a cool, dark, dry place for several months and have not noticed a difference in potency.

The real key to maintaining potency is making sure they are 100% dehydrated.  Use a food dehydrator for 24hrs and store them in airtight containers with a desiccant packet.  You can also put the desiccant packet in the dehydrator to make sure it will be at optimal performance.

ive been growing for over 10 years and never once used a food dehydrator. its a great tool but not 100% necessary

Thanks everyone.

Does air tight mean glass jars? Like pickle jars? Or do sandwich bags work.
And the silica gel desiccant packets? Is there a ratio of how many packets per grams of shrooms?

What do u use, split by nine?

I just misted. Let us pray πŸ™πŸΌ

i let them dry naturally over the course of a few days sitting in a colander in a cool, dry spot in my home. when they are "cracker dry" (stems snap easily under little pressure) i place them in mason jars. i have used desiccant packs but not always.

i have placed them in sandwich bags and then into jars.

sandwich bags are not the best option for storing, but they will work just fine.
