Myco still did not succeed in getting straw?
People will keep on answering with the same: - farms - petshops - horsestables - the wallmarts and home depots

I have a bag of coastal but i hear it rots easily. Is this concurrent with your experiments wit it recently?

I got wheat straw ordered at a feed store. Contaminates too easily. Use aged horse manure for bulk substrates now.

I`ve had great success with coastal hay ...it rots usually due to excess water

I would suggest a tack shop. It's a place where you buy horse feed etc. You may also be able to find other substrates here too!

After weeks of searching at Hardware stores and Pet shops I finally did find Wheat Straw at a tack shop. All you have to do is punch in “tack shop” on Google maps and an assortment of shops will appear and their calling information is available for you.

The nearest tack store to me only has riding accessories, like boots, helmets, saddles, horse-shoes, etc, no bedding or feed.
http://www.polocenter.com/tack/beddingus.htm
That's bedding specific, which will definitely have straw. If there's not a place near you, click over to the feed link at the top of that page, and there will most likely be several feed stores very near you, and will be likely to have straw.
If that doesn't work, find a general store nearby and ask if they have any or know where to get any.
