First grow ready to scale up: precautionary measures?

I inoculated 7 pint jars with B+ a couple months ago. Six jars colonized a couple weeks ago. One more jar is finishing.
I have 4 jars dunked and spawned 2:1 to pasteurized cpoo with a little verm and just a touch of coffee. Put into a foil tray in a shallow tupperware with 2 inches of perlite on the bottom. Was let to colonize then 'cased' with one more jar followed by peatmoss and verm. The casing laying is turning white but no knots yet. One corner did turn blue/green presumibly trich so I soaked it with a bleach solution and h202 and then cut it out and filled with verm.
Second tupperware same deal but I just puta couple 'wbs cakes' rolled in verm peatmoss and a tiny cpoo. Holes stuffed with polyfill on five sides on both tupperwares humidity is 92% and im fanning frequently with the odd mist.
One jar is spawned 1:1 to cpoo and 1/10 verm with a verm layer on top. In a closed container colonizing.
What should I do with the last jar to gaurentee I have at least a few mushrooms to collect spore prints from to start my next grow? Ill be starting headfirst with agar. I have a glovebox ive been using and ready to upgrade to tyvek coveralls and up to quart jars.

I woke up today to 3 tiny pins and one large one. Added more water to perlite for more humidity and gonna run a lot more light now.
This is on WBS 'cakes' im really glad i did them just to try so I dont expect much but i will dunk and maybe roll in manure then verm again.

Theyre only value is to create spores to be used to start (successful this time) LC's and more jars. I figure they need some nutrients. cpoo will just mold or take too long to recolonize or...?

just dots on the myc like white chicken pox.

you can see the brighter tiny white specks. hyphal knots the ones that are brown/rust color are primordia.

its the life cycle of the mushroom,
1) spores -2) spore germination -3) fusion of compatable hyphae -4) hyphal knot -5) pinhead -6) primordium -7) small mushroom -8) mature fruitbody -back to 1) spores.
its full circle, you have to have one in order to get the other.
Pg.5 Figure 2. in The Mushroom Cultivator by Paul Stamets. (just so you know Im not talking out of my ass)
