concerning growing cubensis on rice cakes: I was wondering how common it is for contamination to occur in the fruiting chamber? i mean im not sure if i should somehow sterilize my perlite beforehand because there are a few tiny wood bits and pieces of dirt mixed into my perlite.
also, should my cakes be touching the perlite, or should i place them on aluminum foil?
Any other tips on avoiding contamination are appreciated.
p.s. : how common is it for a contamination to cause total death of your mycelium? can cakes coexist with a partial and substantial contamination?
Also, how exactly should i use hydrogen peroxide?

first off you can just rinse perlite under water,if you really want to go above and beyond you can sterilize it in the oven.
peroxide is only good for cobweb.
yes put your cakes on aluminum foil.
if you get mold before pinning its lost, if you get it while pinning it may be able to finnish the flush with the addition of salt paste.
as for tips for avoiding conams, just be clean and sterile ohand remember that all cakes and subs will contaminate eventually the older they get.
