...I'm currently in the process of 'cooking' 15 gallons of Clackamas Coot's living organic soil indoors. Today is day 5 and upon opening the lid to check I noticed a bunch of white fuzzy spots all over the top layer of the soil- is this beneficial fungi establishing mycelium? Or something to worry about?

The soil is cooking in a plastic storage bin (I drilled holes in the bottom/sides for oxygen) with a lid loosely on top. I try to keep the soil moist - but i'm having trouble. How often should I water? and how much is enough? I usually mist with about 2-3 water bottles worth of water and turn the soil to even the moisture out - I stop watering when the soil clumps up into balls upon squeezing them with my hands, is that good? also, how often should I turn the soil? Should I even turn it at all now that fungus is forming?
