Bleach bath straw

I just pasteurized some straw using bleach pasteurization method from GGMM. I started it on Monday and gave it a 6 hour soak in the bleach. I look today and ever thing seems to be coming along , besides the sprouts growing. The seeds in the straw have sprouted . I guess bleach does not kill the seeds. Is this going to cause problems? Or will the MYC just eat them up? I inoculated it with pink , Grey and king oyster spawn.

THe myc won't eat them, and some folks have said they "can" attract bacterial contams but I'm not having any problems with them. They sprout, I ignore them, they ignore me.
Sounds like my last relationship.

haha the seeds living is not a problem it's if they get colonized by competing microbes.

GGMM depicts a method for doing this in large quantities. How much straw did you pasteurize and what were your proportions? I'm curious as I'm thinking of trying this too.
