Is it true that Hydrogen peroxide simplifies the growing proses by eliminating contaminants? http://www.mycomasters.com/

Well I am not saying that it is bogus, but why make things more complicated then they have to be.
Some might find that it works well from them.
It's worth checking out, just for me I don't see a reason.

It is good idea to use h202 in your misting bottle, your humidifiers, and in your perlite/geolite, also for dunking. It helps prevent contams.
h202 is also a cure for cobweb.
Use at 1/10 strength.
Do not use it with spores. It will kill the spores.

Hydrogen peroxide works great. I transferred a live piece of myc from a contaminated cake, into an LC containing H2O2, and it worked well. I think as long as the mycelium is healthy, it will continue to grow in H2O2. Spores are another story, I don't think they can germinate in H2O2.

unless you live in like Africa or the outback.... you can get H2o2. Lysol or a Bleach solution will work great for sterilizing your growing environment but not an LC or cake/casing.

Milton's contains sodium dichloroisocyanurate. Even for baby bottles, it needs to be thoroughly rinsed off and still leaves a chemical taste behind. If you use it in a concentration that is effective for killing contams, it will kill living mycelium, too, not to mention mushroom spores. Don't use it.
The trick with H2O2 is that there is a concentration that established mycelium can defend itself (with deactivating enzymes) from, yet still is effective against contams. Peroxide can help if you understand all of the mechanisms involved. Here is some information. But, like Snag says, there ain't no free lunch, you're adding another step to the process while saving a little effort. And like Citric and Triad said, don't get it near any spores.

mogur is right. he summed it up well. ive done this tek a couple times. i use more conventional methods myself. although i do value it as a learning tool. i dont regret payin the good doc for the tek. if you have further questions after reading mogurs link feel free to msg me.

Oh its much worse than Africa or the outback its ireland. Tryed my local pharmacy for h202 but they only supply it in 250ml bottles for washing contact lenses. Can anyone mention any brands, it may help me to find some. Thanks for the help guys. Mark

Got this off an irish health care website.
http://www2.vhi.ie/topic/teethwhite
The sale of teeth whiteners in the EU is actually against the law. EU law does not permit the sale of products containing more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide; teeth whitening products typically contain 3% and higher.
So havent a clue what to do.
