Palito, fusarium is not everywhere...until it gets there.... and then it stays in soil basically forever. In pots it's easier because you can discard (carefully) the potting medium and get new, unaffected material.
Peat moss is the product of decaying vegetation material in a bog. The anaerobic conditions halt the rotting and peat is what you get. This bog is a cocktail of crap that can harbor most anything. I wouldn't use it in somebody else's greenhouse. There is no control over what it contains. Bog to bag to you. By the way you won't have to guess if you have fusarium...It blocks the water passages in the plant and kills it.
"Microwaves kill everything."
I wouldn't bet on that. If you put in dry it might not even absorb microwaves. If it does it's likely to catch on fire. Ever read about peat bog fires? If you wet it, it will only get to 212 F (100 C) which is unlikely hot enough to help much.
Coir is much safer to use...just rinse it really good to remove any sodium chloride.
