Is this cobweb? Reddit MOD said to pour 35% h2o2 in tub!

Hi Shroomery! I have just started growing mushrooms, and I spend a lot of time on here and reddit (please don't flame me lol) reading threads to better cement my knowledge. I recently came across a thread about someone who has a suspected case of cobweb mold, and a mod of a contamination identification subreddit told OP to directly pour a whole bottle of 35% h2o2 in their monotub. I would assume this would kill the mycelium.
I did some searches on shroomery and it seems that even using 3% h2o2 as a spray to treat cobweb is a pretty outdated method. I was just shocked that a mod (akin to a trusted cultivator here on shroomery) was suggesting to do something so drastic.
So a couple questions. Is this cobweb? And how bad of an idea is it to pour (not mist) 35% h2o2 in your tub?



Mod's advice

sorry. i just read the whole thread. you had the right idea to second guess that mod. don't pour a whole bottle of h2o2 on your sub. that's not cobweb. here's what cobweb looks like: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23255387

I agree it doesn't look like cobweb to me. I wouldn't have brought it here except that I was so shocked by the advice.

Apparently you can get 34% at Walmart or lab supply stores. It's pretty gnarly stuff though.

I quoted the CDC at them saying that h2o2 is fungicidal and will kill mycelium, but they said that my source was not valid and to not argue with a "Medical research doctor".

Sorry I am SALTY right now.

Lol I should, but they blocked me (oops). I asked them to provide sources and didn't engage in their drivel.
Sorry to bump this thread a couple days late.
The reddit thread is pretty funny though. Reddit Thread

Just avoid reddit. Place is a cesspool of retardation, especially for mushroom cultivation
Also RR IS a source. Fucking moron mod there lol. There's not some endless pit of sources. The buck stops at the people who did the work or research that can be cited
Whoever that daytripper is... A troll or a tard. Reading those posts was insufferable

Lol I'm sorry if your blood pressure rose by just reading it. They have time to write a 3000 word essay about why RR is not a valid source, but cannot provide any valid sources them self? It was just a huge diversion tactic to try to distract from the fact that they were called out about giving bad advice.
I'll take your advice Bod and stick to Shroomery.
