I know in my area it is uneasy to find coco coir, and expensive to order online. If you can not find it use peat moss.

straight peat is okay for casing?
I have some peat-based potting soil, the pH is right for growing reefer, so does that mean it can do shrooms too? It has a bit of perlite mixed in. Oh wait, it has fungicide. Never mind. But regular peat?
