hey, i hope it works for you. When you put the lids on don't put them on real tight when you put them in the water. And when you take off the lids to put the spores in, do it in a room where there's as little dust as possible floating around. Ie, turn off heat or ac and make sure you're in a room that's not drafty and doesn't have anything moldy in it. ideally, you put the spores in when the jar is warm, but not hot. that way there is moisture that condenses on the spores and makes them grow more quickly.

oh yeah, and be careful with mushrooms, they can seriously fuck with you. if you're not sure how much to eat, err on the side of not enough.
