 growing with trich

I have a bunch of trich in my fruiting chamber all over. It's kinda to late to throw it out lol already has been green for a while and I don't really plan on growing in the same room again anyway any time soon.
But anyway it has had 2 pretty big patches of trich on the top and more on the bottom and sides that I can't really see. I keep pouring rubbing alcohol on the trich that is on top and it will go away then be back the next day lol.
I just noticed it is finally starting to pin in a couple places which I wasn't even expecting. Can the trich spread to where it is pinning and kill it? Like I said i keep putting rubbing alcohol to stop it on top and that will stall the mold for a day but there is also more on the sides and bottom that is probably spreading a lot too that I can't see.
also I have some cobweb on bottom. it keeps spreading to the top and I spray it with h2o2 when i start to see it but i can't get the bottom. can that kill the pins or is that only bad for the mycelium?

All the alcohol is doing is washing away the mold spores. The trich will eventually spread to the pins and start growing on them. The cobweb too and then it will turn the pins into mush. The H2O2 may also cause some of the pins to abort.

so how could I slow it until it finishes the flush? I thought rubbing alcohol would kill it lol. I put salt on it but there is a bunch of mold on the sides and stuff to I can't even really see around all the side pinning.
the mold spot on top has been getting bigger and there are knots and pins around it that it is slowly covering which probably wouldn't have survived with the salt anyway.
should I just wait and hope the mushrooms grow faster then the mold?
and the cobweb is only growing on that spot on top where the trich is that I see so I haven't sprayed anywhere except for that spot with h2o2

I don't think there much else you can do. The salt will essentially kill the mold and mushroom mycelium that it covers but the mold mycelium will still be spread throughout the substrate (even in places that look like pure mushroom mycelium can have mold mycelium growing through them) so it will start appearing in new places. It's always a losing battle against mold so the best you can hope for is whatever mushrooms grow before it gets them.

You might have fucked up not just that room, but that entire house, for growing.
The only time you should ever try and fight trich is in mid-flush. If you already have pins, apply a heavy waster/salt paste on the afflicted areas and immediately toss the substrate after harvest.

well ya I mean the same house too not just the same room. so doesn't really matter to me.
is it possible to get a second flush though instead of tossing after harvest? Like I said I don't have to worry about future grows so I planned on trying but what will happen with the mold after dunking it for another flush?

I once had a few jars that went mouldy, I washed the myc in water with a little h202 then put it to three trays
Two trays just went pure mouldy and heated up quite a bit(like compost)
The third eventually turned green and I turned my chamber off
About a week later I went to toss it in the garden and found some pretty thick myc on the bottom so I scraped off the mouldy and dunked it in a bucket overnight and ended up getting my first flush of shrooms(not many and fairly small)
For some reason now I seem to get green contam in everything
It seemed a good idea at the time
