Yeah none of that stuff has nutrients in it. It's all pretty much barren. I hate to keep doing this but if you pop over to icmag and look under their Organic soil the sticky organics for beginners has some good organic recipes for soil. Personally I'm going to be running Fox Farm Ocean Soil with something like 40-50% perlite in it and possibly some blood meal added before hand. Water with water and molasses (have to find molasses ><) and possibly some guano teas and such. Good luck.

I believe coir is basically nutrition less for weed. Weed != shrooms. If you grow in coir you're basically growing soiless.

Trichoderma IS useful to plants so I don't think it would hurt to toss an infected chunk in there. If you have a compost pile that is good quality soil....USE THAT!
Make a nice mixture of compost, perlite, coco, and some other nutrients (worm castings, bone/blood meal, kelp). Since you would already have compost in there maybe feed the mixture for three days with some water and molasses (damp not sopping and turn it daily) and you'll have some outstanding soil for your plants. This wetting and turning process it to promote beneficial bacteria and fungi that will break down the blood/bone meal and other nutes to give the plants available carbs  . (At least that's my understanding to this point)
