If you have a fungus problem with wood chips you are likely going to
have the same type of problem with cocoa shells.

I had a neighbor that used them. The shells had a very nice smell when
they first put them down but after a rainy spring the smelled like baby
vomit.

There are many other mulches you can use. Stop by your local garden
center and see what they recommend for you area.
