Growing in a mycobag, still have some questions.

Hello. I have spores and a mycobag on their way in the mail, and I am following http://www.clusterbusters.com/mycobag.htm that technique specifically. I am aware that there are far better ones out there, but this is my first and I'd like to stick to this one before I get into anything more advanced.
After studying that page, I still have a few simple newbie questions I feel are unanswered. I'll give a rough summary of my gameplan, tell me what you guys think of it. If you see any errors in my plan, or if you have some extra tips, please share.
The room I'm going to use is clean and sterile and constantly dark. I have a wall-mounted room thermomoter in there. In the weeks it takes for my packages to arrive, I will use a small heater (not anywhere near my grow site, but in the same room) and experiment with different settings until I can get the room to read a CONSTANT 86 degrees (well, perhaps between 82 and 86, but I'll try to be exact).
QUESTION: Will I need to mist the air in the room to make it humid, if so how often, or perhaps leave bowls of water everywhere? Any tips on humidity? Or does it not matter because it will be in a mycobag?
I will sterilize and inject the liquid into the spot where I'm supposed to. QUESTION: Does the needle go all the way past the disk, just squirting the liquid on top and on the sides of the bag? Or does the needle go in halfway and inject the liquid INSIDE the disk?
I will then lay the bag in the corner of the room, probably on a towel rather than the hard floor, and I will monitor the temperature every day.
When the bag becomes white, I will break up the disk carefully. When they grow to full maturity (QUESTION: How long do you think this will take after the first mushroom pops up? Will I be able to see in the bag with all the white? And after fully grown, how long will they last before they die or go bad while still in the bag?) I will go outside and harvest them (fresh air) and mist the inside of the bag with some water and seal it and return it to its place for more to grow, and repeat until no more grow.
FINAL QUESTION: Harvested, how long will fresh ones last in a room between 66 and 70 degrees? Do I need to put them in perhaps a baggie or a tupperware container, or something? Should they remain in the room, or a refridgerator, or just the warm growing room?
Before they go bad, I will dry them, and I already have a full drying document to follow and all the materials needed (fan, container with lid, Damp Rid, mesh wiring, etc.) I would still like to know how to keep them fresh before drying, and for how long.
Thanks.

OK first of all take it one step at a time, why are you asking if you will know if its all white? if you waited until you got to that point
you would answer your own question. and use common sense obviously you want the spores to come into contact with the substrate. keep them fresh
before drying for what purpose? your question is ridiculous i think you just like to see your posts or something its like a book of stupid questions

wow. first of all get a tub as an incubator. you can use room temp its just a little slower but just stick them in a draw or closet. incubators don't need humitity since like you said, its in a bag. also misting your room would do very little besides getting your floor wet. leaving bowls of water out also will do nothing for humidity. your rooms is not a fruiting chamber. unless you have a greenhouse or giant martha.
sitting the bag on a towel as oposed to the floor doesn't matter. myc doesn't have a sense of touch.
inject THROUGH the bag. the spores have to get to where you want them to grow...
fresh mushrooms will last up to about 5 days in a paperbag; they need to breath so don't ziplock or tuperwear them. ziplock and/or tupperwear DRYED shrooms though. keep in cool dark place.

I've just realized who you are. And I'll be deleting all the info. I just gave you. Someone like you shouldn't be helped out. Ever. Period.
Stop growing mushrooms. Please.
If mycology ever begins to interst you in anyway, then please, send me a PM and i'll change my rating and help you as best as I can.
For those going,"Gnostic! , Why would you say that?!".
This is why.

I usually recommend understanding the underlying principles in regards to a persons current undertaking.
In your case I'm just going to have to say: follow the directions.
heh some people just look for the speed limit signs along the road. And they need them! No attention is payed to what the road is doing, the current road conditions, the condition of their vehicle, what other vehicles are doing, their own personal condition, the condition of their passengers, etc..
The next time you get a ticket, remember these words, and understand that it is the same attitude that caused the ticketing to be neccessary.
'I don't need to think. Someone else will do it for me.'
-------------------- Their are 10 types of people. Those that understand binary, and those who don't. ~Cappa.
