green (sporulating) trichoderma after 4 days means it was already established in your spawn.

That's what I thought, but when I checked the jar of casing mix that was left over, it also had spots of green...

Casing isn't going to provide nutrients, just needing to provide an evaporative layer. I'd bring it to a full boil in a submersed burlap bag and then simmer for 20 minutes or so. Kill everything off. Again, the casing is just a top dressing but you want it clean.

Why not just sterilize the casing in the PC? I know the beneficial microbes are there, but they didn't help me fend off this trich...

add some lime, remove twigs and stick and try again 
sterilizing peat surely doesnt help.

Would there be any benefit from using coir instead of peat in the casing mix?
