First BRF Tek

Hello fellow human beings I started my first mushroom grow probably over a month ago I haven't kept track of the days since inoculation.

I started with 6 cakes under RR's video instruction with an addition of gypsum. What I didn't do because I forgot or thought it wasn't necessary was put micropore/masking tape or leave foil on. I thought the vermiculite layer was all that was needed. Now I understand that dust/molds can really just float down and ontop and maybe find its way in.
Anyhow, at first I thought many of them were not inoculated properly because I had forgotten to shake and tap the syringe. But eventually all but one had signs of growth.
3 are left now and nearly fully colonized.
1 got Trich.
1 I thought was colonized by psilocybe but now Im thinking it may have been hit by an invader mushroom because of growths likeness to mycelium. smelled of cleaner if anyone knows what it could be.
1 never had any sign, I broke it up outside to get a feel for the cake and to my dissapointment there was mycelium in there just not on the sides. It smelled of cleaner if anyone knows what it could be. One is showing pins and even looks like there's a little head on the pin. I'm going to birth that very soon, tomorrow probably.

For this cake I am thinking I may do a super cheap 2 liter shotgun terrarium. But I need a little feedback due to the outdated information on the website. Basically I'm just going to put holes on all sides, cut the top so it can be taken off easily. I'm thinking about filling it about half way with Hydrocorn that I already have. Is lava rock much worse than perlite in humidification use? I know they have similar properties but perlite is crystalline so it might have more porousness.

This is somewhat because I'm busy and cash lacking right now. And I think that these pins shouldn't be jarred for more than 3 days, but if I had to I could figure out something else or just replace hydrocorn with perlite. Feedback please!

I have also started 5 1/2 more jars about 5 days ago with no signs of inoculation yet, but my other ones took awhile so I'm not getting worried. These I left the foil ontop of, but I did loosen it.

Hydrocorn will work.  You will have to watch the humidity leval.  this time your going to use tin foil but loosin the lids?.. just follow the tek.  Exactly. If money is tight just wait untill you can afford a cheap plastic bin and some perlite.  I would use a 3 liter bottle in place of the 2 liter.  Good luck friend!
