mycelium vs. 90% isopropol alcohol
    #26336210 - 11/21/19 03:35 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

So I accidentally got my bottles mixed up while spraying a shoebox I have that is colonizing. I had it colonizing in improper conditions which allowed some moisture to evaporate from the substrate. I figured I would give it a quick spray with water before covering the top of it with foil to colonize properly. However, I didn't read the label and after a few sprays realized it was alcohol and not water. I quickly fanned off all of the alcohol until I couldn't smell it and sprayed some water and covered it with foil. Will the mycelium be able to recover or have I just ruined my shoebox?

Its fine. Also you should be using 70% its more effective at killing contaminants

I always thought higher concentration was better. I will start using 70% now. Thanks for that!
