Bleach doesn't harm mycelium much. I've soaked tissue for cloning for several minutes in a ten percent bleach solution. The bacteria is killed off, but the mycelium survives. Bleach seems to harm mycelium far less than peroxide.

Ok so then would it be ok to do something even more drastic, like....

Once fully colonized, dunk your cake for a few seconds in .6% hypochlorite (that would be 10% Clorox and 90%water) solution, rinse with clean water, and then dunk in clean water overnight before placing in the FC? sounds to me like if the MYC are OK with it, it may be a great way to cut contam

But whats with the effects on hyphal knots, pinset. I swear by this. It's crazy. I wonder what the under lining science is. Cause and effect stuff.

could this method be used with cakes too? I'm planning on shocking the myc once developed, using dunking (16 hours) and rolling in verm before transferring to terrarium.

Ya know, I keep hearing that peroxide hurts mushrooms, but I've used strait 3% peroxide to sterilize bulk corncob spawn with fantastic results many times. I've never seen it slow down the process.

That's because it breaks down within minutes, and there's no mycelium on the corn cobs at the time.

Re: Bleach and pinset [Re: Slimz]

I would have to think that the improved results are based just on the lack of contaminents and not any real benefits from the bleach for the mycelium itself. Right?????????

and also this quite from a science fair project.

"Next he tried to determine what chemicals might kill the mushrooms. Boothroyd tested bleach, borax, and a commercial cleaning solution on a fresh batch of oyster mushroom mycelia.

"""I had read that bleach was toxic, so I assumed that it was bad for the environment, and therefore would kill the mycelia and mushrooms," Boothroyd said.

Much to his surprise, however, the mycelia seemed immune to bleach and the commercial cleaning solution, but susceptible to borax. That gave Boothroyd an idea for one more experiment.

Both bleach and the cleaning solution are acidic, whereas borax is basic, so Boothroyd decided to test the susceptibility of mycelia to acids and bases. This time he grew mycelia in the presence of vinegar (acid), water (neutral), and baking soda (base).

Neither baking soda nor vinegar killed or altered the growth of the mycelia, he reported, although the mycelia growing in water did best of all. However, he's not sure that the experiment is the final answer to his question. Boothroyd thinks the basic and acidic solutions might have been too weak to affect the mycelia to a measurable extent."""
