A quick update:
I have read that the colonization process can be aided by allowing a small of amount of air exchange. For this, I've taped cotton balls to two-of-the-four inoculation sites on the lid.
I now have growth in 100% of the jars and no contamination yet. Here's hoping for a February-mushroom-fruiting.
