when i used it finely ground like that, my casing mix seemed really muddy and the Myc had a hard time working through it.
but yeah, it does work, its a cheap alternative to coir.

Just don't get sphagnum moss. It's the course, stringy stuff used to line wire baskets so they'll hold soil for hanging houseplants. It's obviously different if you see it, but sometimes in a closed bag it can escape notice until you get home and try to use it.

found this
found this "Don't confuse sphagnum moss with sphagnum peat moss. Sphagnum moss and sphagnum peat moss are not the same product. Sphagnum moss is used in the floral industry to line wire baskets and make wreaths. It is the LIVING moss that grows on top of a sphagnum bog. Sphagnum peat moss is used as a soil conditioner by gardeners. It is the dead material that accumulates in the lower levels of a sphagnum bog. Harvesters of the horticultural peat moss remove the top few inches of the live sphagnum moss before harvesting the peat from the lower levels of the bog."

You can definately use sphagnum peat moss... It's the b o m b. And when I got my sphagnum peat moss, I bought the hippie 'mother earth' bullshit kind, and guess what.. ph of 6.5! Damn, guess what those hippies did... they added some lime to that bitch, all ready for me to use, whatya think of that!
