i read somewhere that dunking with store bought spring water is more beneficial... but i've haven't really done any real testing. I've accidentally gotten some(maybe more than some) peroxide on my cake pre dunk and no problems though. However, i THINK that as long as you have a clean room with little to no air circulation the peroxide mix is unnecessary. As for bleach, I dunno if i'd want to risk that.

Peroxide mix is mostly water, so direct contact is not that bad but, I have seen lots of mushroom videos and you can submerge mycelium in water with peroxide and it will absorb the peroxide no prob no damage.
Some people use this method to keep there culture sterile

I've used peroxide in almost each dunk. It is pretty good in fighting contams. It has never effected the shroom growth.
