Newb - Spawn bag - Looking good so far, some Q's!

Ive been reading this board forever. Unfornately there is only so many posts for a lurker to read. Now, I too have some questions. 
First, its probably a little important to know the history of what is going on. So i'll start from the begining.
I purchased a self sealing spawn bag of Rye Berry. It was cultured with Costa Rica.
I have quarter sized blotches of mycelium growing in random locations, covering approx. 70%. This has been going on for approx 3 weeks now. I am assuming it is just not done yet and will be shortly. Now, for my questions.
The mycelium looks very healthy (ive already dealt with contams before), i am just curious if this growth pattern is correct. Also, it seems to be grouping a bit, instead of wildly spreading. Is this also normal?
I have been reading tons on fruiting. I am curious on how i should go about this... I was told the rye would be alright for fruiting, but what does everyone think?
1. Should i cut the top and add half inch of verm? 2. How do i go about "misting" it? I understant to just buy a fine misting bottle, but when do i want to be misting? 3. Would it be safe to moosh around the rye berry/mycelium one last time? Or would that damage it?
Thanks in advanced!

No. Do this.
Here is a basic tek for casings http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23805 (obviously, intead of using PF cakes, you will be pulling from a spawn bag, but take a chunk outta the spawn bag, put in a plastic bag, and break up as in tek)
Here is the list of casing teks: http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/8 I would go with the 50/50 or 60/40 tek
When its fully colonized, open up your spawn bag and divide up into breadpan casings, then put that in your FC. Mist daily until pinning. You can moosh around your bag again, should speed it up. Do casings though! Optimal!
