I've used coco coir as a germinating medium in the past with pretty good results. This year, I started a few seeds in coco coir and it started growing a white fuzzy mold pretty quick. I switched to a different medium and didn't get the mold. I don't know if the mold would have harmed the germinating seedlings, but I broke the mold up with my finger and let the cells dry out a little and they germinated and grew fine.
