If using poly tops it's so the moisture doesn't get into the jars changing the moisture content

Like with foil?  To keep filters dry, otherwise condensation pools can pool on top of them.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."


No, this does not look right...

I stopped using polyfil and I started using ez-felt, unbelievably better! I seldom change them out but it takes seconds to cut a square and stick it back on. But im sure the same reasons hold true for using the foil.

Even with tyvek, when the filter gets wet it can wick in contaminates.

I use synthetic filter discs on my lids.  I recently, unwisely PC'd a set of cyanescens jars without covering them with foil. Moisture seeped in and made the substrate too wet, as exemplified by the middle jars in this photo.





Cover your lids with foil.  Period.
