Synthetic filter disks are my favorite. I have some from the first batch I ever bought, ten years ago. I still use them after hundreds, if not thousands of times.

Next would be to get polyfill from a department store. It's the white fiber used to fill stuffed animals. You drill a 3/8" (.5mm) hole in the lid and stuff it with the polyfill, which acts as a filter. You can also inject spores or liquid mycelium cultures right through the polyfill.

If you don't have tyvek, filter disks, or polyfill, the old standard for years was to stuff a normal cotton ball into the hole in the lid, just as we now use polyfill. The cotton serves as a filter too, but bear in mind, cotton is organic so must be kept totally dry at all times or contaminats will easily colonize right through it.

tyvek is easy to come by, go to your post office and get a few priority or express mail envelopes (free). one envelope will give make at least 15 filters for you, if not more.
