Using alcohol to kill possible spores from casing?
    #14503651 - 05/24/11 10:24 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hello hello,

I did a quick search but didn't find an answer so I'll just assume it hasn't been asked or has been buried deep within the archives:

Can I use high proof alcohol to mist my casing to kill any unwanted spores or does it kill or harm the mycelium or mushrooms aswell? I've mostly read about using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) so I would like to get clarification on this.

Thanks

Gilrand

Don't use alcohol on a mushroom substrate at any time.

Peroxide is ONLY for control of an active cobweb outbreak.  Beyond that, proper pasteurization and air exchange are the ways to avoid contamination.
