I believe you need next to no air exchange in an incubator. If you are having trouble keeping it up to temp. I'd probly throw a blanket around it. I think sterility is the main concern

An incubator needs no fresh air exchange, and since all your jars are sealed, sterility isn't an issue. All the incubator is for is regulating temperature and providing a dark place for your jars.

not completely sealed though. they do need to let C02 to escape.

That gets done inadvertantly. It's not like you need to fan or anything.
If you meant the jars being sealed, I didn't mean only by the jar, I emant from contams in general either by a vermiculite layer or by tyvek or polyfill or a combo of both.
In either case, it's not something you ever have to worry about.

Aren't mushrooms more related to plants then mammals? SO they let out oxygen instead of CO2 right? Please correct me.

consider yourself corrected. The vegitative growth of mycellium definatly produces C02. Smells wonderful doesn't it fellas? And i find that it's more psychologically beneficial to a grow to think of them more as humans or other sentient beings than plants. I know that shrooms are much more sentient than vegetables (and no i can't back that up, i've just read a few studies and delt with a few grows), so give them the respect they deserve. sorry about that tangent
