Help with first grow

Please help! I have been reading for days and still can't find the answer. My situation is as follows....I have 1 quart of wbs that is 90% colonized, 2 lg aluminum baking pans with clear plastic tops, enough pasteurized substrate(cow poo,straw,worm castings and some coffee grounds) to cover 3/4 of bottom of 1 of the pans. How should I go about spawning? I guess what I really need to know is do I need to make holes in the pan? I was thinking that taking the lid off and fanning should give enough FAE for such a small amt. of (bulk) substrate ;however this is my first time to grow, so not sure about much also is it ok to put the semi colonized and uncolonized wbs from my jar in with the substrate or do I need to try to separate it? Lastly...this is my ONLY jar that made it without contams so should I take out as much straw as possible and replace it with worm castings? (I read straw has a greater chance of contaminating.) Thanks SO MUCH to anyone willing to help. P.S. I started with a 50/50 cow poo/straw mix. Thanks!

Myc eats metal, so first, line the tray with a garbage bag. Mix the spawn and your sub with your hands in the lined tray. Put the tray in a properly constructed shotgun fruiting chamber.
Use the search engine and search for "tray tek"

Thank you. ...The thing is I have been using the search engine and found nothing, NO THING in regards to whether it is OK to mix wbs with bulk substrate. I did line the tray with a garbage bag, however didn't see anything about a tray tek either so appreciate the info in regards to that. Please give me another key term to use regarding whether OK to put the uncolonized seed in with the rest or if it would be detrimental to the grow to use straw. I have probably been trying to utilize the search engine and making mistakes in terminology,using too many words, not enough or too specific? At any rate I would have kept trying as I enjoy reading and discovering the different and correct ways to 'do it yourself' but I have had the substrate pasteurized for a few days now and honestly afraid it might go bad. Thank you again for the info.

Yes you can spawn the WBS to your bulk substrate, but then when its done colonizing you need a fruiting chamber, a SGFC would be optimal.
Or just use a big plastic tub, and do a monotub.
Use Damion5050's coir ten but instead of using a tub split it between the trays...or use TL's One Flush Wonder Tek...links are in my signature...

Damn. Now I can't find the tray tek.
I think you're going to need more substrate.
Wait until the grain is 100% colonized. Shake the jars to break it up. Dump the grain into the tray. Use your hands to break it up more. Add the substrate. Mix it up with your hands (this is the point at which you will wish you were using coir instead of shit). Crumple up a piece of wax paper and put it on top of the substrate. Put the lid on the tray. Wait until the substrate starts growing pins. Buy a rubbermade or sterilite tub. Drill 1/4" holes spaced 2" apart in a grid pattern on all 6 sides (yup... bottom too). Put about 5" of damp perlite in the bottom of the tub. Uncover the tray and put it on top of the perlite. Mist and fan the FC 4-6 times a day.

I've found the tray tek like 5 times in the last week with no problem. Couldn't find it after 5 minutes of searching tonight.
