Exo Terra is just shredded coco fiber and I find its texture far more consistent through each brick and between bricks. Its fluffier too once prepped and not pressed quite as firm so easier to break apart and hydrates evenly when using the bucket prep. Very rarely will I find a stone in it. Never the crap I found in the eco earth bricks.
I had originally used Exo Terra for my snake and chameleon habitats so when I started growing mushrooms I stuck with it. Was only last year that I tried eco earth and I really hate it. Still have a 3 pack around that I doubt I will use for anything but bottle subs.
I mostly use hydroshop coir for my substrates and its definitely coarse. But its clean. I prefer pet grade for casing layers and use it mainly for such.

Bricks def differ even in the same 3 pack. One will be a great deal of fiber and compressed to all hell and the next will basically be powder and can be totally broken up by hand alone.

 I've used eco earth countless times and have never found anything foreign in it. Although I'm not surprised.

3-pack for $6 on Amazon. It says "Add-on item only", but if you buy $25 worth of just this coir it definitely ships.
14.5 hours later and that listing is $19.06 with free shipping now.
*edit* nevermind other seller has it for that price. But they say "Usually ships within 3 to 5 weeks." Fucking amazon.

What did you guys do to my coir source!! 
Edit: I think it might just be out of stock and redirecting to that $19.06 listing. Before the link I posted was and "Add-on item" sold & shipped by Amazon.

I'm a bit obsessive and use a piece of hardware cloth (3/8 -1/2 inch mesh) to screen my peat moss and coir and get the crap out of it. If you attach the hardware cloth to a wooden frame and make it the size of a plastic tote or small mortar tub (the black ones they sell at Home Depot for about $9 work great) it takes very little time and effort to screen the material.
