Growing mushrooms directly out of an inoculated jar 1

I've been doing days and days of research before I start my first grow this week and just have a few questions before I get started.
I want to keep this grow pretty simple seeing as it is my my first time and am basing my tek mostly on this one posted here:
https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=40988
Instead of making and sterilizing my own substrate I figured I'd just buy a pre-sterilized substrate and inoculate using this as the substrate:
http://out-grow.com/mushroom-growing-substrates-c-4/4-quart-jars-of-grain-spawn-with-self-healing-injectors-p-22.html
After full colonization is where I'm getting a little fuzzy on how I best want to fruit (again, I'm trying to make it as simple as possible so I don't mess it up). My idea is to take the colonized cakes, dunk&roll them using vermiculite, and then placing the cakes back into the jars. I'd then store the jars in a filter bag and commence the fruiting:
http://out-grow.com/mushroom-grow-bags-c-13/large-mushroom-grow-bags-with-02-181m-filter-p-121.html
The only problem is I've never seen anyone with a tek where they are fruiting the cakes directly out of the jars that they colonized from. Would this pose any problems that anyone can forsee? Is there something I'm missing here? Any advice and tips appreciated.

Where to begin... take an hour or 2 and make a shotgun fruiting chamber... bags won't cut it like a real chamber would.
If you're going to take them out and dunk and roll.. why are you going to put them back in jars? Either leave them and case them or straight dunk and roll and put into fruiting. With them not in jars you have more surface area to fruit from too.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I guess my intention here is not a super huge yield (just enough for a tripp by myself) but thought that the shotgun chamber would be too high maintenance. Would the filter bag seriously stunt the growth of fruiting or just hurt the yield?

Glocked me with pics? I didn't say he couldn't do it. Just said why pull the jars out to dunk and roll and put them back? If they're out just leave them out and fruit them. If they're in a jar use a casing..
Also told him to use a sgfc cause in my experience bags just don't work.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21168958 check out this op but you need to do it in bulk to make it work.

Would it be inadvisable to try and fruit the jars in a filter bag? What are the downsides to doing this?

No mushrooms? Contaminants? Lol.. I just don't see any reason to risk your grow on something nowhere near as well tested if you can just make a shotgun fruiting chamber for next to nothing, it's tested and proven, and it'll be around for your future grows.
Magick I can't tell from text what people are thinking haha, but I was trying to be polite too :P. I just realized I might not have explained myself well enough so I wanted to explain myself better

put a ziploc bag over the top of the jar and then zip tie it on or rubber band. poke a few holes see how that does poke more or less holes accordingly.

Have you done this before bod? If so how'd it go? Sounds like something I'd try for shits and giggles. Got 70ish jars going right now so I could do it for fun lol.

I'd also like to know more about this. I'd guess that you wouldn't need to mist or fan? Or would you?
A styrafoam cooler works good for a poor man's job. An easy chamber if your cheap.

i either put a bag over the top or put them in a 5 gal bucket with a clear lid and some holes. do what works.

Fuckin eh lol!
Magick I'd imagine you'd just push the bag down and bring it up to exchange the air. There should be a hole big enough for the nozzle of the bottle.
I'm curious if you used a fan during fruiting or if you used the ambient room flow as well as compressing the bag?

gas is infinitely miscible a few small holes in there and you're fine no fan needed the central air comes on every once and a while.
