My first grow

Hey,
I want to grow my own shrooms for the first time, and I'm pretty flooded with information by now. There area a lot of guides on the internet but I can't even decide which guide to use. This one looks easy though, so for now I'll settle with that(if there's no good reason against it).
Since the video doesn't give a list of all materials required, I tried to put it together myself:
Brown Rice Flour Water (distilled water or just tap water?) Vermiculite A glass(mason jar? Or just any glass?) Micro Pore tape Foil(tinfoil?) Spore Print Syringes Lighter Pot Stove
Please tell me if something is missing from my list. For me it's really hard to get everything together because the video doesn't just list the things and because the things are in english and for some I can't find the exact German equivalent.
Also, I only have one spore print, so I can't just do trial and error because it would really suck big time if I messed up.

It helped me to write everything down, the whole process. Got more familiar with it, and walked through it in my head...did a step by step and addressed everything i needed.

What's that for a non-native speaker? I can't find it in any dictionary.

wide mouth half pints are short fat (almost square) jars. No shoulder means the sides are straight, with no smaller opening.
SAB = Still air box. Search bar will fix that for ya

That is basically all you need.
If you can afford to, build a glovebox. You could use dollar store dish gloves. BTW I use Dish gloves for other stuff with growing, because they are reusable, cost a dollar and I rub alcohol and bleach on them all the time
if not, you can build one free. Make sure to get the cheapest Lysol® (or generic disinfectant, it is all the same) in larger quantities if you can afford to right away (save money on the back end and you tend to use a fair amount of it)

I never used the short, squat 1/2 pints for the PF tek, but I hear they are better.
Should be a lot of places, and especially around canning season but King Stoopids almost always has them around here

Can I just use a mason jar for this? Since I have no idea where I can get that kind of jar here.

I found some HowTo's on the shroomery but they all look like a LOT of extra work and extra material. I want something simple for the beginning, so I think I will leave this out.

You can use mason jars for cakes as long as there are no shoulders on the jar so the cake can slide right out.
And a still air box is a bin with 2 arm holes cut or melted into it.....hardly what I would call extra work.

if you can't find jars, use tapered glasses. Not tall ones, the ones that are 4inches high or so. You'll have to double foil them, one for the "lid" and one to cover the lid so when you remove them from the pot or PC, you have an extra layer of protection before you knock them up. Once you do knock them up (glasses), make sure you only leave the one layer of foil on them (the layer you put the syringe through) so you can get some gas exchange through the holes. Don't worry bout contams, the dry verm layer will take care of that for ya
