Pre-made grow bags

Hello everyone, I apologize in advance if I am asking questions with seemingly obious answers. I am merely new to mushroom related inforamtion and want to be certain I understand this particular growing technique.
My sister Mathilda recently purchased a premade grow bag and spore syringe from an online vendor. The vendor instructions were relatively unclear regarding the steps to follow with the bag and spore syringe.
It is her understanding that the needle and injection sight must be sterilized with an alcohol wipe before the spore solution is injected at opposing angles into the bag. The bag should then be placed in a dark place for around 14 days before being exposed to indirect light for 12 hours per day. The bag should then be opened and the mushrooms removed.
Is that information correct?
Her specific questions are as follows:
What is the ideal temperature for the equador strain of psilocybe cubensis?
Are there visual clues for when the bag should be exposed to light?
How will you know when the mushrooms are ready for harvest?
Will anything grow on the outside of the bag? She thought not, but the websight had strange photos of things growing on the outside of the bag.
Thank you for indulging me in these questions. If any of you have specific experience regarding growing mushrooms via a premade grow bag, please offer tips and suggestions. Thank you.

P.S. Mathilda intends to fully educate herself regarding more advanced mushroom growing techniques in the near future. Right now, however, she is concerned with the supposedly simple grow bag method. She has never been very talented with growing things, and thought this method may suit someone with a non-green thumb.
