first time few questions.

hi have been a long time lurker but first time poster.
i have decided to try my hand at cultivation and have a few questions i can not find answers to nor understand.
i have some poly carb 500ml containers http://imgur.com/kxLyMM4 with poly ethylene lids that are a perfect shape for cultivating mycelium and should be fine in a pressure cooker. i just dont quite understand the process of the holes i need to put on the top for gas exchange etc. i am planning on using a spore print from a cube to inoculate the medium but what exactly do i need to do to this lid to make it safe to sterilize in the PC. all the videos and information i can find is regarding the rimmed lids of glass jars. also do i need to make a syringe or can i just scrape the spores into the container after sterilization?
also im from adelaide and can only obtain subs in the wild, can anyone point me in the right direction to obtain some cube pints? i have watched many hours of videos and read alot and would really like to get into this, i just need some help, anything would be appreciated

you want the recycling code pp5 on the lid and the container, ifnot they will melt in the pc cycle

well that is for poly propelene plastic carb has a much higher melt temp than prope does so i wasnt to worried about that melting (i work in plastics) but i can get a pp5 lid easily enough

then all ya do is drill four holes big enough for your syringe to fit through, that is the only modifications needed. www.mushroomvideos.com about the only vids worth watching

The video will explain that, but if you have a dry verm filter then you leave the holes uncovered so it can breathe.
