yes... have researched the method. Have not tried any of the strains for CHs or migs, though have tried Reishi, shitake (that was a mistake) and some other non-psychedelic yet medicinal ones.. have tried many things.. some with success, some with partial success, some complete wastes of time. Actually prepping to begin this endeavour as well. Private source on spores, versus a business though. The thread you mentioned has been being watched by "friends of mine" ;> .. I have brought headaches up to them... go to Spirit Plants ... in the basid. area you will find a gentleman I know.. knows more than he should for his age... he will try to spare some time to assist you... have inquired that they watch your back and keep you secured from the idiot commoners who are just looking to "trip".. ringworm is a fungus you know...
as to the two jars you oopsed.. just keep an extra careful watch on them since that layer of vermiculite is intended to help filter any other contaminants from getting through to the sterile substrate. Take pictures :) Let me know how things go for you. If nothing else, it will be a fine learning experience.
