First-timers First shopping list - Check if i have everything!

Heya there! 
Here's my shopping list for my mushroom growing project, do you think it's complete?
Canning jars Airstone Airpump Airhose Growrocks Cheap plastic reptile box Plastic cut lid for the box + Some sealant Metal grid for the cakes not to touch the growrocks Pressure Cooker Cleaning alcohol + Exam gloves
I'd put the growrocks to the bottom of the box, put some silicone or other sealant to seal the lid to the box, make a few holes (2 or so to each side) to the box and put an airpump to pump from one hole. Put the cakes to the metal grid which would be high enough not to touch the growrocks, which are in the bottom with the airstone (i'd need a 2 outlet pump for this to work but it's not a problem).
I'd use common sense about places being clean and i'd spray lots of cleaning alcohol whenever i'd mess with the box or the cakes.
Does it sound i might get shrooms this way? I've read about the subject for years, every now and then, and this is what i have conducted of my reading - a shopping list.
The box would be in a room with a lil dust here and there, so i'm a lil concerned about things, like will the air from the airpump be pure enough or will it contaminate my box..

Well, looks like your off to a good start.
But i'm sure you know, your going to need a little more. First and foremost you need some spores. Also you need some vermiculite/brown rice flour. Or rye. Since it is your first time, i would suggest going with the PF jars. I've been growing for years (2 years) and i just now learned how to do Rye grains properly.

I managed to spend over $200 on my initial shopping list, and that was before my $180 pressure cooker... Might also need two tubs for an incubator, plus a submersible water heater.

Don't forget lysol, h202 and maybe oust.Then stop by the post office for tyvek.
I would put your air pump in a little plastic box with a hole cut out and tyvek put over it to keep it half way clean.

Heh, i wonder if they have this "tyvek" you talk about here in Finland. Never heard of it..
Lysol = cleaning alcohol, and i have h2O2. What's oust?
And yes i have the spores, and yes i will need BRF and vermiculite..
So my list is perfect? )

here, this is what you really need, cheaper
Canning jars Cheap plastic tub from walmart with airtight lid perlite cheap tupperwear containers tin foil duct tape (to cover sides of tupperwear) hammer and nails (to make holes in jar lids) vermiculite brown rice flower peat moss Cleaning alcohol pressure cooker (which you don't really need for PF)
and of course spores
just kind of the same list you had except I switched the grow rocks out for perlite, the reptile tub for an even cheaper tub at walmart, no need for the metal grid and added vermiculite, peat moss and brown rice flower (for spawn). This way you can just crumble your PF cakes, put them into a tupperware, case with 50/50 peatmoss and vermiculite and then fruit it in your tub. No need for the airpump and airstones and all that IMO. as for the Pressure cooker you could probably get away with using a normal pot and lid if you're using PF tek but if you're using WBS or rye get a pressure cooker.
oust doesn't kill germs, look for a air spray that says "kills 99 percent of germs" or something along those lines.

Good idea to pick up some hydrogen peroxide and masks too.
And definitely get the pressure cooker.
