First timer - **Mycelium showing (Pics)**

Heya, my friend recently got some grow kits from the vendor de sjamaan. As he doesn't know anything about the growth of mushrooms or how to cultivate at all, he gave me one of the grow kits to see what I can do with it. I am a noob as well although I do have a certain amount of knowledge on cultivation. Anyways I know many of you think grow bags and such are a waste of money but I haven't had to pay anything so its a free experiment for me really . If it pays off i get half of the fruits .
Well I am working with a cambodian strain and here are some of the pictures of the inoculation:


After the inoculation:

I then proceeded to put some sticky tape over the self healing site just in case, should I keep it on or take it off? Because I am worried about the Mycelium not receiving any oxygen when it starts to colinate or will it be O.K?
Here is a picture of the type of sticky tape I used:

Thankyou in advance

Well im pretty sure its healthy mycelium showing Its been 7 days so far, here are the pics

Does that bag have a filter patch on it? It should. You shouldn't need to cover up the hole with sticky tape.
What kind of substrate is in that bag, btw?

Yea it has a filter patch but in the instructions it says to place the bag back in the box after the inoculation, so the top part of the bag where the filter patch is, is not exposed to much air. Is this a problem?
"The Sterile substrate in the bag contains sterilised Rye grain, vermiculite and water."

You can clip them to a clothes hanger in the closet and hang it up. It's worked pretty well for me. It forces the top to be straight and facilitates airflow through the filter. No need to put it back in the box.

I roll mine up to colonize, colonizing myc doesn't need a lot of o2. It prefers co2.

Looks like mycelium to me. Only white contaminant that I can think of is cobweb and that doesn't look like cobweb.

Cheers guys , I wasn't expecting it to start at all really, because I know how untrustworthy some of these places are where you get grow bags and spore syringes. Trying not to get excited yet though lol.

So glad I've finally found a post relating to this! I've just bought one of these grow bags and a spore syringe. At the moment they're being stored in my fridge (hope this is the right thing to do?) until I know exactly what I'm doing.
I'm a complete beginner and have no idea where to start. When I bought these from my local supplier they wouldn't give me any advice on how to use them for legal reasons (I even had to buy one first, then come back and buy the other seperately).
I'm hoping someone can give me advice on exactly what to do once I've injected the spores. Eg. Where I store it, what I do once I notice mycelium growing, how I get several flushes out of the grow.
Somebody please help a newbie out!
