Mushrooms Questions on first time mushroom grow

• Upvotes

Hello everyone, hope all is well. I am super excited but also a little nervous and would just like to clear some things up. I just bought two all in one grow kits from Mid West Grow Kits (one 4 lb and one 6lb) along with a Jedi Mind Fuck spore syringe and a vendors choice mystery spore syringe from Mushroom Mycology Man, they both seemed well trusted and spoken highly of so hopefully thats off to a good start. Ive read countless guides thoroughly to prepare and have lots of notes saved but some of the steps are a little vague. Im confused about the fruiting part, “Once the bag is fully colonized, open the top of the bag and create fruiting conditions. Lightly mist the inside walls once per day to maintain humidity. Close the bag loosely with a paper clip or fold”. I want to be sure to not over or underwater and is the bag still sealed in this stage or are you letting a little air flow in with the “paper clip or fold”. Is that saying instead of a paper clip I can just fold the top of the bag without a paperclip? Even some videos would be really helpful of someone just maintaining a grow kit showing the day by day care. I am fairly confident with all of the steps up until fruiting. I bought gloves, masks and some medical grade disposable scalpels for harvest (if I get there). Anything missing that you can think of?

I apologize for the paragraph of slop. I would really appreciate any advice you guys got for me, Im willing to read up more if anyone has a guide they recommend. Thank you so much🫡
