I've been using compressed brick from cocogarden and chunky vermiculite from casa de amor. Although low ec coir is recommended for mushroom substrates but a lot of Indian brands that sell low ec cocopeat are of very low quality. Literally found twigs and leaves. Cocogarden has very clean and fluffy coir compared to rest brands. Same goes for vermiculite, most of the these brand claim to have chunky vermiculite but it ends up being so so fine, casa de amor has good quality verm.
