No, it shouldn't be moist. Keep it dry and your potatoes will keep for a
long time. It will not encourage fungus, in fact peat moss is an
anti-fungal. It might cost a little bit more up-front, but it doesn't go
bad, so you can use it over and over. You can get more info at

In the search window type in "peat moss potato storage"
It will take you to a window so you can scroll down and find "peat moss-I
found a use"
Take a look and see what you think.
This website is an incredible source for information, because the majority
of the information comes from people who have tried and used these methods
and shared them.

An interesting idea to explore.

How does it work?

Should the moss be damp or not?

If not what does it do?

If so would it encourage fungus?

Would the peat moss cost more than the taters?
