I’ve never had coir mold, but it sure AF grew some bacteria. Bucket tek coir left alone and closed for ...I dunno, a month or two? Smelled like rotten eggs. I still used it. Shrooms came out fine.

Coir contamination depends on hydration, sporeload, and impurities. We have occasionally had seeds sprout from coir so occasionally there is some contaminants that contain nutritional value. Couple these impurities with enough water and spores and you get mold. I have had bacterial coir from overhydration and enough time allowed for growth. Similarly I have had mold develop on coir. It happens, but if you manage your work appropriately then you should never have a real problem.

i don't know about coco being nutritious ; what nutrients you think coco has ? it really doesn't show in any experiments i've made like putting it in dishes before and after cooking , leaving tubs with out spawning them just to see what happens, after some failed attempts to get it to contam by itself , i feel safe saying it's fairly tough on contams. 
i feel we're reaching common ground here ,
also , i guess it varies so much in everything cause of the manufacturing conditions , i'm thinking the facility is not clean and they don't care.

Personally I did not know. Soo here is what good old Google has to say.
Coir possesses significant amounts of natural potassium (K) and phosphorus (P). It also contains trace amounts of nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), boron (B), chlorine (Cl), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn)
Trichoderma is a naturally occurring fungus in coco peat; it works in symbiosis with plant roots to protect them from pathogenic fungi such as Pythium. It is not present in sterilised coco peat.
I found this quite interesting.

@dmppb That's the only reason i can think of after having batted this around a while and having to argue that yes indeed my(and other's) coir molded on it's own until changing brands in some circumstances.
A co is basically taking scraps and handling it however they choose to, seems easy enough more laxed quality control with have more "other stuff" slipping into their coir, or a source that's leaving other refuse in with the husks. Not a big deal if you intend to use for plants. Whether it's leaves, hay, seeds, interior of coconut, whatever; all those things are capable of supporting molds if in large enough amounts.

in your place, i'd toss it. the rotten eggs smell is hydrogen sulfide produced by anaerobic decomposition. by itself, hydrogen sulfide is toxic. but the critters that produced it can kill you dead. might not be likely, but it's much less not-likely if you stir the kettle, so to speak. toss it and make more.

i agree , coco companies do not have a strict control on spores and other stuff going into their bricks, i mean , i'm thinking this is scrap from coco water companies or whatever and is treated as garbage before going into brick making process
i think i read some debate here before about coco for plants vs coco for reptiles ; being the coco for reptiles the best quality , i have always used zoo med eco earth and never had problems to think twice about it
and so yeah being not 100% contam proof we boil the water and bucket tek to kill bacteria and send spores to a deep sleep , and should be enough , si ?

I've ran about 10 different cube clones and all have been disappointing cultures. Either they don't produce or have weird fruits and are always small. My MS grows have always produced better canopies with ease. I generally pick big fruits from clusters to clone.
How have y'all found winners that stand out from an MS run?

I found some bioluminescent mycena growing in my yard today. I was thinking of taking some prints just to have in case anyone was interested. They have white spores. What is the preferred paper / material to use?
Oh yeah, and if anyone wants a print Pm me your Addy and I'll have it on the way. It's the least I could do for yall, I'm not asking for anything in return.

I guarantee it... 10 different clones?
 No way your luck is that bad... I'd bet on excess moisture ... classic newb move

What is you method of cloning Caps? how many, how many transfers till use, time span expected from clone to fruit?

How would you come to that conclusion? The clones are grown in the same conditions as MS tubs. The clones yield, just not as good as the MS tubs. Not my first go at this.
Was looking for constructive advice instead of "classic newb move."

The weird small fruits or no fruits part. How much water are you hydrating your coir with? Got any pics?

They all are different. Some produce a lot of mutants, others will have a lots of aborts. Others have small fruit size.
Coir is hydrated to field capacity.
In people's experience, do you clones do better most the time?
