I've looked at a lot of the sponsors and some seem high, thought about using Amazon but anybody have someone that is a decent price? Or maybe just go to garden store? Thank you

Vermiculite can be found at garden stores, home depot like stores, and Walmart. They're all hit or miss you may have to ask for some to be ordered(for insulation of Dutch flower bulbs or something) or just say mushrooms so they look at you funny
Coir I get from pet stores. Hydro shops sell it too

I've personally always like Ebay for coir (5kg bales) and the local Lowes for everything else.

the $15 "FibreDust" coir brick on amazon works great. Bulk verm from uline is good. They have 4 or 5 different grades.

I order all my coir from trusted vendors. It's really cheap so I'll order a bunch at a time.
I get all my vermiculite, perlite, etc, from garden shops.

You should be cultivating reptiles and fish, not mushrooms.

I get mine at the local farmers co-op. It's about $15 for 4 cubic feet.

Garden specialty stores will usually order anything cultivation related you ask them for if it's not already in stock. Which reminds me, vermiculite goes on sale at the end of the season at my favorite shop and I usually buy it up because they won't have anymore til spring.

Ive had terrible luck sourcing coir locally, so I get mine online from home depot, its cheap, and fast. IIRC its about 20 bucks shipped for an 11lb brick of it. Im fairly sure they sell verm as well.
