Default types of compost/manure

I'm looking to get some 'mild' manure/compost to kick-start my no-dig veg
garden. I don't have much waste matter right now to add to the beds.

So, would mushroom compost be suitable for this use? Any other ideas?



Mushroom compost is largely peat and I avoid it for that reason.

I find a good quality composted bark very effective - and it lasts longer
than peat plus it has better water retaining properties.
