Live sphag moss

Hello orchid lovers,
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone has recovered from the silly season!

Well, I've just discovered a bag of sphag moss that I purchased before Christmas is 'alive' and growing!
Most of the 5 L bag is green!
My question is- what do I do with it?

I am using dead NZ sphag moss on my phals, and that is going well.
Can I use 'live' sphag moss on orchids?

More questions:
Why does adding charcol help the sphag moss from going sour?
How do I know that my sphag moss is 'sour'?

Thanks!
