Forgot top layer of dry vermiculite before sterilize.....

I made my vermiculite and BRF mix, put them in the jars, then put tin foil on.....without putting the top layer of dry verm on the top.
I took the pot off the stove once i realized (about 20 minutes into steaming) and its in the corner of the kitchen for the moment because im going to go to sleep.
But my question is.....tomorrow if i take the foil off then add the dry verm to the top then re-boil do you think it will have any adverse effects? You know since the BRF and wet verm sat overnite?
Should I just dump it all and start over? any thoughts or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

If you have or can get micropore tape, use that
carefully take the tinfoil off and put the tape over asap (uncover one hole at a time)

if you are going to reboil anyway, it will be fine. if you had forgotten to add dry verm layer and went the full sterilization time, do the micropore tape or rubberband a few coffee filters or tyvek over top. dry verm layer is just a contam barrier, no water or nutes, no possibility of contam life on that part.
also, sometimes people forget to wipe the inside of the upper part of the jar and contams will sneak in like that, otherwise ur good bro. good luck boiling, i heard it works, but i always PC'd to be safe. after this grow, invest in one, highly reccommended.

So I am new to growing shrooms.... I ordered some PES Hawaiians about a month ago and do not have a pressure cooker.... I mixed the vermiculite and BRF together in 4 seperate containers.... One of them was a red plastic cup. After putting the mix in it, I realized I hadn't sterilzed anything.... So I looked up how... Everywhere said I needed a pressure cooker or something similar.... Not true..... If you microwave your vermiculite cake for 4 minutes and then let it sit until room temp, then inoculate.... It works.... Today I have 4 shrooms so far growing when there were none yesterday.... This is so exciting.
