mushroom growing pftek?

hello all,

am interested in growing my own mushrooms to cook with using the pftek method & brown rice flour. only one question about the process so far. after inoculating my jars do i tape the syringe holes back up or leave them open before putting in a moderately dark environment to colonize?

    You are supposed to put a "filtered" tape or cover over the hole to allow air exchange. I covered the holes with tape in a few. I also put a disk shaped cotton swap with tape around the edges on the top of the jar to block any incoming microbes to enter. I would prefer grain substrate if you are looking to have a decent harvest and get the moneys worth of your spores
