If you are using it for casing, I'd go with verm & peat. If you're spawning your WBS, I'd go with poo or coir.

yeah, peat and vermiculite.

coir has so many nutrients it makes it hard to use in casings.

what is it harder to use for casings? because of contams? anyways i thought coir was pretty resistant to contamination and that it had fewer nutrients than peat moss, i've used it as reptile bedding for months w/o problems (then again it wasn't so humid).
coir is just just coconut husks, isn't it mainly cellulose?

The problem isn't with contams, but with overlay. Check out Hyphae's post that's stickied to the top of the cult forum.

Or you could check out the Puerto Rican pics in my fruiting pics gallery to see how well coir works as a substrate by itself. Having that many nutes isn't what you want for a casing layer.
