It is really friggin' weird how much myc loves coir and how much other stuff seems to hate it.

Coir almost never contaminates on it's own. I've left it moist in a plastic bag or bucket innumerable times - never had it go green or get cobweb. I've had friggin' sawdust and wood chips grow nasties when left moist in a plastic bag...but never coir.

It is almost like there is an antibiotic of some kind involved, yet mushroom myc rips through it very quickly. If it does have antibiotic properties, those properties are quite oddly selective.

I love coir, don't get me wrong, but it is really weird that it works so well for growing mushrooms (and MJ).

Damn, you were posting while I was editing...good lookin' tray there, Boots!
