I can absolutely disagree with that guy...
And it decomposes to water and stuff. A beautifully effective agent.

I think he is right on 2 points. h2o2 doesnt come in purified form, and if it did it probably would kil the mycelium. but 3% and the % im using wont. however in this case im referring to it being poured onto the perlite. the h2o2 im using is a higher percentage, maybe 40% compared to 3%, ill check for sure tonight.

Well I don't know if this is any help but light breaks it down so if it is in a clear container it might speed it up enough to be useful.

There is a catylist that speeds up the break down but I don't remember what it was. It's pottasium something I think. I have thought about that before. I'm only on my first batch of shrooms right now and it's a really funny method, i'm getting lots of ridicule for it. In my theory, if you raise a cake off the floor of your terrarium and put the H202 in the bottom of it in place of water, or along with water, it would first sterilize the bottom of your terrarium and add oxygen and help maintain humidity. But like I said...i'm by no means knowlegable, so don't take my word for it. The stuff for growing shrooms is cheap, so just go for it and tell us what happens.

That catalyst is Manganese dioxide.

well what simply happens is the extra oxygen just bonds with the air...if u poured a bottle on your mycelium then it may die..probally just slow down.. i had a greenhouse that was almost half cobweb mold and i put a mixture of 30 hydrogen peroxide (2%) and the rest water and gave the whole green house a dose and it killed most of the dacylium....it then reoccurred and i added it about 10 more times and only ever got one flush but that was at my call... it never seemed to damage the mycilium .. just the cobweb

Why in the world would you add H2O2 to the perlite in your terrarium? You generally have no need to do such a thing. In low concentrations H2O2 decomposes to water and an oxygen free radical that is capable (at low concentrations such as .15%) of killing bacteria and spores but is harmless to the mycellium of higher fungi. If you feel the need to use H2O2 on your perlite I would use a concentration of .15%. But, as I stated before you shuldn't have to do this anyway if the perlite is clean and the water that you use to moisten it is clean.

Do people ever use mycelium in syringes (I'm almost sure they do) It must be an almost 100% success rate in adding H2O2 to the syringe for killing contams. I'll have to try it. Though I am a novice.
