Poured Peroxide on one of my shrooms...

...and it fizzed from its "stem" to its "head". Does this mean all of my shrooms are contaminated and are not safe to eat? Will it be safe after I dry them?
Thanks

peroxide hurts mushrooms and mycelium.
why in the world did you do this.
provide pictures of your mushrooms still attached to the substrate and we can say for sure if they are safe to eat.

if it fizzed then it was not diluted.
undiluted peroxid will gnaw your meat as far as the bone man.
be careful.

youre talking about cobweb.
concentrated peroxide comes as a 30% solution. as far as i know do you use a 3% solution of peroxide; so 1 part concentrated to 10 parts water.
yeah, i see the pic. shrooms looking good so far imo.
harvest when the veils starts to break, or, for prints, when the cap is fully open.

They are fine. Almost everything will fizzle if you pure H2O2 on it. Nice grow BTW.

normal store bought peroxide is 3%, which is what you want, no need to dilute it with water
and the only time you use it, is when you have cobweb..

they look fine to me.
Not the best pic but I see nothing that would have me worried about contams....what made you worried? or were you just checking for the hell of it?
If everything smells good and no contams are visable you should be all set, just keep your eye and nose open, I don't think anyone uses the peroxide test anymore as it can be inconclusive, meaning it could fizz even when everything is perfectly healthy.

Oh okay, Ill remember to mix the peroxide next time. Thanks guys And this was my first grow but i find it pretty funny because Ive messed up on this one so many times. I microwaved 1 cup of ground coffee, 2 cups of coco fiber and a cup of verm for 2 8min intervals. Then I put my 4month old spawn into it while it was warm into a 6qt sterilite dubtub and a few weeks later this is what i got lol I feel lucky and I cant wait to trip for the first time 
Once again, Thanks People

I was really worried about contams because the jar i used had a fat bacterial wound on it but it over came it so i kept having the thought of contam in the back of my mind. Oh and I sneezed once while casing it so that got me really pissed/worried too lol But I guess they seem okay to everyone so i dont gotta worry
Thanks people, Nicest and quickest forum ive ever been to

lol... i just wanted to say that, it is not necessarily "contaminated", if it will fizzle, because you pured 3% H²O² on to it.
