Thank you!

I looked up pictures of lots of different pots that had mineral buildup on them.. mine has always been thin layer here and there flaky not bumpy thick or like on one a fin film over all the pot 3/4 but on the side not facing any plant no film at all.. so would mineral buildup do that? All over but not one side that just so happens to to be around some of the "infected" plants? And how would build up instantly show up? I mean I watered with hydrogen peroxide and dawn in a big containner of water about 6 pm and then by 230 pm the next day.. pots that never had issues it was everywhere and then that mushroom popped up too.. and that plant had never had a mushroom and was never outside
something is certainly causing issues with us here...hopefully I can get them back outside in the next few days once they complete the painting outside.. and I am buying replacement filters for the inside vent and vacuum which is bagged and my air cleaner.. which has been near the plants since i brouhht them in..
so lets saythis is white mineral build up only.. would the hydrogen peroxide somehow make it instant? And bulky looking?
So im thinking if thats it then its got to be just the soil.. so replace soil.. but I dont think I will ever do perilite again .. all this didnt start til that large bad of miracle grow and me mixing perilite pretty generously into the soil.
Just wary now.. its been a real pain and My elderly cat cannot get another sinus infection that we are still treating.. me too..
thank you all so much.. just let me know about the instant buildup.. i keep reading peroxide kills mold and fungus.. but could it cause the mineral buildup to increase instantly ?
