poo + straw question

i took a 5 gallon bucket and filled the bottom with 'de-odorized steer manure' from home despot.
I soaked some hay for a few hours then crushed a cake and put it on. I then put a bit of manure, then a layer of hay and then crumpled cake and so on a few times. I ended with about 1 inch layer of manure.
3 weeks later and there are slight cobweb and some brownish color and other white but not strong rhizo showing. it is moist with a feed of mist from coolmist assoc.
any advice is appreciated. temps are 75-84.

First off, de-odorized??? I cant help there, old manure doesnt smell much and its perfect for growing.
Fresh manure needs to be leached
I hope you are mistaking hay for straw, and that you used straw, because hay is not what you want , hay is grass, straw comes from agriculture processing.
It the left plant matter after we take the wheat etc(or at least the part we use for eating) 
One cake spawned to a 5 gallon bucket, especially placed on top, with a little manure covering isnt a good spawn ratio.
You must mix well, considering what you did it can only losely be called spawning , and at best, it was a very poor "spawning"
You dont need to feed it water, and it should be sealed up, you want a build up of Co2, the way you are doing things you are going to end up with a failed project, start over, use alot more spawn, and prepare your poo the right way.
I had failures to, but the effort is worth it, you'll get it.

There are no Hay teks.
Use straw.
IF you can find horses, you can buy straw in town

yeah, i saw big bales of greenish hay/straw - so i should assume that it is straw... the horse poo is full of it as well...
