Big newbie mistake. Please don't do this (casing/pinning/mold)

Hi folks. I've just successfully seen a huge pinset on my first casing; however, it was a difficult road that I made extraordinarily more difficult for the shroomies than it had to be. So to all you newbies out there; the wispy mycelium that hyphal knots and eventually pins appears from looks like mold!. I made the big dummy decision to spray this wispy mycelium with peroxide/water mix twice! I thought the damn mold would never go away so I just decided to leave it the third time since I didn't like spraying peroxide on the mycelium anyway. So, of course, now that wispy stuff that I killed twice before is where my pins are coming from and I'm left feeling pretty foolish. Just thought I'd pass it on; I was 100% convinced that that was mold and I'm not an idiot, nor am I new to cultivation (just casing). So please don't make my mistake and happy growing!!

Oh I know it doesn't kill it; clearly if I have a pinset, it isn't dead. My point was I could have had that pinset at least two weeks ago if I hadn't sprayed the wisps. So it didn't kill them, but it sure as hell made them go away for a week at a time. Just trying to be helpful!

Can I get a LOL? Lessons learned my friend.
Now that I have laughed at you, I have an idiot story to share as well: I've never dealt with syringes before. So instead of inspecting them I just assumed that the clear cap on the first syringe I used was an adapter! I slid the needle onto the cap and man, what a nice fit! So I stick the needle into the silicone of my LC jar and press the plunger. WTF?!? The liquid in the syringe shoots out of the side where the needle meets the cap right into my face! hahahah At this point I'm like 'fkcn Ralphster, buying shitty syringes.. grumble grumble something about someone needing their ass kicked'..
But wait, their's more!
So I remove the needle and I see that the clear plastic 'adapter' is closed at the end(because its a cap but I don't realize it atm). So I think 'Oh, its like a glue bottle cap, it needs to be cut.' I then promptly cut the end off of the cap and reinstall the needle onto it. I smile at my new found success and stick the needle into the silicon again. I press the plunger again and SQUIRT! It hits me in the face again! haha
So now I'm really pissed at the old Ralphster, pretty sure he gave me a cheap ass, busted syringe. So I grab another one and take a look at it to 'inspect it for shittiness'. Low and behold I see the cap doesn't even make use of the threads on the syringe body. Is this an optical delusion? I grab the cap and pull it off and then it hits me...it's a fucking cap! No Flippin wonder it wasn't working.
Then I laughed my ass off at myself and when I told my fellow cultivator what happened he was like 'Looks like it was you that needed your ass kicked!'
Lessons learned my friend.. I think this is why God gave us a sense of humor.

Lol idiot. I have done many stupid things too but thankfully not that stupid (yeT).
i was flaming the needle once to sterilize it and the base of it melted so it almost melted off. i had to stop and hold it in position until it cooled back off.

Yeah, I definitely felt like quite the fool; I'm just glad I have a really phenomenal pinset. That syringe story is hysterical. You live you learn.

ooh ooh ooh, how about not waiting for the lysol your sprayed all over and through out the inside of your glove box to settle and disapate a little bit before you go to flame your syringe neddle! hahaha, man that was a shocker, boom! all of a sudden all my coffee filter tops and cotton balls were aflame. flames shot out the bottom edges where the box met the table. luckly i didnt cetch fire too, but it was pretty damn funny. i had to do the innoculations with slightly chared cotton balls. heh.
