Something I've been working on

[viper69]

With live plants I find in the wild I always mist everything with peroxide. It inhibits new spore growth. I learned that years ago with growing edible fungi. Thanks for bringing that up Ranitomeya. I don't think many people know about that and it's a very useful practice. With sticks, logs and questionable substrate, sure, Nuke it in the oven. But with live plants I've always used peroxide. It works for lots of things around the house also.

What percent H2O2 solution did you use, and how long was it left on the plants?

1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide (The 3% over the counter stuff) to 1 gallon of distilled water. I always lightly mist anything from outside and let it hang around for a few minutes and then mist or spray my plants down with regular water to hydrate them well for re potting. I honestly think the mixture is so mild that there really is no need for rinsing personally. It comes out to being around .0009% H2O2 per gallon.
