Cobweb meets peroxide, At first you see it, now you don't

Thought I'd post this example of what peroxide will do to a jar of rye that got contaminated with cobweb mold. The camera is in the exact same place in both pictures, you should be able to see the same rye grains.

Pictures were taken 30 minutes apart. I would have taken a 3rd but my stoned self bumped my camera. It all eventually dissolved, then it grew some black mold, because I forgot about it and left it sitting for a couple weeks on a counter, so I pitched the jar w/o opening it.
I need to time lapse video that one of these days, if I grow some more cobweb mold in a rye jar.

You can't use peroxide to kill molds in a grain jar. Peroxide is for taking care of cobweb on a casing layer surface. RR

a jar with cobweb needs to be tossed.
cobweb is to be battled on a substrate/casing surface only.
just as RR said.
any time a contam is in a jar, that jar should be tossed. sure, you may be able to fetch a couple fruits in some very rare circumstances,
but we toss the jars for another reason: see, when you opened that cobweb jar, millions of cobweb filaments too tiny for you to see escaped into the air. as would any mold spores.
so now your house is infected with cobweb mold, caused by you. you want to save one jar, but in turn ruin all future projects.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/6092329/an/0/page/0/gonew/1#UNREAD you should learn your lesson from this guy. he's in big trouble now.

No, I never opened the jar, I was just playing around with it, and my house has a mold problem in the first place.
I was well aware of the problem, and knew the jar couldn't be saved, so I wanted to see just what happened when I filled the jar with peroxide via syringe through the self sealing injection port. I posted I never opened the jar and just pitched it. I wasn't trying to save it, or blow a bunch of crap back into my house from it. I'm not quite that daft, although I realize toying with it may have blown small amounts back into my house, can't be much worse than the filthy place I already live in tho.

I hear the old house thing.
I can't wait to get into a new house of my own where I can better control the issue.
well you should be fine. it looks quite neat when you have a whole casing surface covered in it and then attack it with the peroxide. nasty though.

I doubt anyone can possibly have a moldier house than I have. My condo has wall to wall carpet, plus mold all over the bathroom. The bathroom ceiling has mold from an old roof leak. The bathtub has black mold on the caulking. The walls around windows in the living room have black mold from condensation. The carpet near the sliding glass door has mold caused by condensation.
It's amazing what attention to sterile procedures, synthetic filter disks, filter patch spawn bags and a flowhood or glovebox will do. RR
