No, don't worry about it. There is a lot of contams in the air anyway (unless you live in biological Level 3 Lab , or running air filters), there is a lot of contams in the fridge itself too... Peace BC

Excellent idea ribit. I do have a cabinet above the refrigerator. I'll place a thermometer up there to see how warm it stays. Thanks.

Have you tried Anno's incubator tek? It works wonders, and since you already have a heater, you'd only need another tub. Check it out: http://www.fungifun.org/pf/incubator.htm

I dumped out the old, uncolonized substrate today. It was very dry and there was nothing growing at all. I redid 4 of the jars and added more water this time. I will innoculate them when the pressure cooker is fully cooled. I think the problem was either wrong moisture content or the spores suck. I used partially ground up brown rice so I think the larger rice granules probably absorbed alot of the water causing the vermiculite to dry out. We'll see in about 10 days or so. Thanks for the info on the incubator, I'll try that out for sure.

definitely sounds like it's too dry. b+ also takes a while to get started. we've had some batches that took about 4 weeks to get going.

This is not true but it's just what has happened to you. Usually spores germinate within 5-6 days up to two weeks maximum or something had gone wrong.
Aboute the rice, you should grind the grains as flour in order to have a good result and good moistness as well.
