gathered materials for substrate, didn't work. What did I do wrong?

I gathered some aged horse manure from a stable. I let it out in the sun to dry and to allow the ammonia to evaporate. It dosen't smell much, but it does have some rocks and bedding in it.

I then bought a bale of straw. I cut it up and mixed it in a 70/30 ratio straw/manure. Added a little gypsum and hydrated it, then finally mixed it with panaeolus camb. colonized grain spawn. After a week and a half I see patches of thin mycelium but for the most part, the rye berries are covered in mycelium but they are not colonizing the substrate.

I know I didn't add vermiculite but ive been keeping the small tub moist everyday.

Oh by the way, the tub is outdoors. Thats why I didn't pasteurize it.

Did I do everything properly?
