Yet Another Green Mold Thread

Yes, I've searched. Yes I've heeded advice found in these forums. No, I'm not a n00b. This problem is becoming troublesome and all relevant threads are either old, not quite what I'm looking for, or rather vague in concept.
So, I'm having problems with green mold popping up on my casing layers. This is especially troublesome seeing how I'm using 4 Casing layer per tote and don't want to risk contaminating another casing, let alone an entire tote.
I've treated with h2o2 in the last hour, we'll see how that goes.
What are thoughts on cutting/sccoping out the affected areas and then post-treating with h2o2?
Can someone please provide up-to-date relevant information or techniques.
Thanks in advance, everyone!

From what I read, I'm f*cked. RR posted,"As has been known for many years, attempting to cut out green molds will result in even more contamination. What new growers fail to realize is that the green they see is only the spores that are being released. The trichoderma mycelium is white and may permeate the entire substrate. There is no cutting it out.
Some strains of trichoderma are sunlight sensitive, while others are not. All spores are sunlight sensitive, so placing spores outside in the sunlight will bleach them, making it appear the sun has 'killed' the green mold, when in fact it hasn't.
Using bleach or peroxide to kill green mold is a waste of time. There is nothing that will kill molds and leave your mushroom mycelium alive.
The key is to follow sterile procedures at every step of the way, and if/when green molds are spotted, the substrate must be removed at once and placed outside. Many mold infested projects will recover and fruit if placed into soil in a shady spot. RR "
However I'm hesitant in believing this is a trich. problem and more of a Penicillium/Aspergillus mold.
If so, can it be dealt with differently?

Isn't the entire mycelium affected?
Like a contaminated blood stream

From what I read about trich. mold, yes. However, I'm unsure about penicillum, which I'm fairly sure is what this is.

Just stick it outside brah. That way your home isn't permeated with spores.

I have read on this boars that you pour salt on the affected areas and it might slow it down long enough to get a first flush, then to the trash

I left a tray outside once that was really contaminated with trich. About 3 or 4 days later the trich was gone although the mycelieum got really dry. I dunked it overnight and then fruited and everythig went well for 2 flushes.
