Plantation soil you linked is the one you want. Coir comes in 2 forms as far as I've seen it: decorative gardening coir and terrarium bedding. You don't want the decorative gardening; it will work, but, as I mentioned above, it is coarse and will hinder the mycs ability to colonise evenly which will in turn provide you with an uneven pinset. Terrarium bedding in 650g brick form will yield the greatest results, as it is finely ground and when rehydrated will have a soil like consistency, which will provide your myc the conditions to evenly colonise it. I used both forms in my grow a few weeks ago and the fine coir is far superior regarding colonisation times and pinset.

Also, from what I see, the coco husk you linked is almost exactly the same as gardening coir even though it is labeled as terrarium bedding. If you can, definitely go for the bricks!

So you mean the exo-terra plantation soil is not good? Seems to be the thing that everyone is suggesting.
Idk why they call it plantation soil really. As illustrated on the picture on the front of the brick it's meant as bedding for reptiles and amphibians such as that yellow frog.
