Small white worm clusters in soil tote

Basic Growing Info
1

So I keep extra/recycled soil in a large plastic tote and went to get some and there were these clusters of white worm looking things all in the lid and around the top. Trying to find something online and the closest thing I can find is fungus gnat larvae but the pics don’t really look similar…

Anyone ever see something like this? I’ll have to take a picture and post it but I just wanted to get the tote very far away from my room and I had to leave before I could get a pic… they are very tiny.

Do they look something like this (1" (2cm) long)?
These are the white worms ( Enchytraeus albidus) that are fed to tropical fish.

When in doubt bleach them out

I forget the name but had them in 2 Octopots

I emptied the rez cleaned with bleach
But they where in the soil in my net pot

It was close to the end so I made due and after harvest got rid of the soil and washed everything in bleach
Best wishes
