Heliam in peat?

OK, here's the deal. I woke up this morning and found that the sphagnum
that my _heliamphora_ was growing in had been bleached by something (I
haven't used any chemicals within at least a month on this thing). Upon
inspection, I discovered lots of nice fungal growth in the sphagnum and
decided to repot the _heliam_ in a peat/perlite mixture.

My question is: will this work? Has anyone tried growing _Heliamphora_ in
this mixture? Should I add some orchid mix to loosen things up?

I'm not really keen on mixing sphagnum and peat together (as is reccommended
in Pietripalo's (sp?) book. I usually just do all of one or the other.

Any reactions?
