Method of peroxide

Got a question. I think I may be getting cobweb mold. I've been doing alot of reading and so far I found out that it is due to stal air. So instead of fanning for 30seconds directly at the casings, I will be setting a timer on my fan for an hour to the whole room(closet). That way it gets more FAE. I also put hydrogen peroxide on the cobweb mold and a couple of hours later it disaspeared! Can peroxide hurt the growth of the mushroomos. Any input on my ideas? Thanx and keep on shrooming in the free world.

Peroxide melts cobweb mold on contact. It also damages mushroom mycelium, but not to the extent that cobweb does, so use peroxide with care and avoid spraying it onto pins/mushrooms unless the cobweb is actually growing on them.
Air exchange will prevent cobweb. It thrives in stale, humid, still air. RR

can I mix peroxide in with water and spray my casings as usual? I think it keeps coming back and it is on a few mushrooms. I have increased the FAE dramatically. I know run a fan for an hour 4-5 times a day. The humidity is around 80-90%. So will this work so I can save my casings?!? And is cobweb mold poisonous?

It's not dangerous to you, but will ruin your crop. Peroxide will kill it, but try to keep it off fruits. I'd just pick any mushrooms that have cobweb growing on them, and rub it off with your fingers before putting them up to dry.
Spray the surface of the casing layer as required with 3% peroxide to keep the cobweb off. RR
