Our loose hydrated 'Myco Coco' coco coir was developed for superior mycelial growth and provides optimal pH, moisture retention, even gas exchange, and key trace minerals to your mushroom grow. The first coco coir researched and selected specifically for its mushroom cultivation qualities, Myco Coco can be used as both a casing layer and substrate additive.

Triple-washed and buffered to adjust pH and nutrient levels, Myco Coco creates the ideal air-to-water ratio, making it ideal for cultivating gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. RHP certified to guarantee the highest substrate standards in the industry, it is naturally free of pests and weed seeds.

Myco Coco is made from coconut husks, is biodegradable, and is a 100% renewable resource. It also contains traces of Magnesium and Calcium that contribute to the overall growth of mushrooms.

How to use:

  • As a casing layer: Coco coir should only be added to fully-colonized substrate covered in mycelium with well-developed primordia and/or pins beginning to form. Only a thin layer of coco coir (1/4 to 1/2 inch) is necessary.
  • In bulk substrate: Combine coco coir with other ingredients to your bulk recipe at the desired quantity. Pasteurize or sterilize after combination.

Pasteurizing:

Coco coir is naturally resistant to bacteria. However, some users prefer to pasteurize it. Should you choose to do so, we recommend steam pasteurization or a water bath at 180 degrees for 1-2 hours. Once pasteurized, squeeze out excess water and allow to dry before use. (Latex gloves recommended.)

Storage:

Coco coir is best stored in a cool, dry place. Because it can easily absorb moisture, we recommend storing in food-grade, air tight containers.

Been experimenting a bit with some pseudo casing layers, seems that a little bit of this here and there goes a long way. Too much can add moisture build up layer which might risk contamination, just be careful and mindful of your grow environment if you plan to do a full layer!

Thanks, Christian! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Coco coir casing

I always this as a casing layer- makes picking fruits super easy and allows multiple flushes without damaging the mycelium. I tried some verm as casing once and truly regretted that. This is the way to go-
