straw bulk

Ok so I've been trying to figure out bulk ideas for the past week. I've looked at horse poo (still working on finding), coir (couldn't find), and straw. I'd like to do straw I think and see how that turns out.
From what I've read it is simply breaking up a pf style cake into a large pan of sterilized straw and letting it completely colonize. Is it as simple as simply waiting for this to happen then putting it in a fruiting chamber or is there another step? I guess it just seems to easy. Any help would be appreciated.

It's not quite that simple.
Your straw should be pasteurized, not sterilized. And to get the best results a casing should be applied before fruiting.

My friend is having some awsome results with straight coffee grinds.... Go to your local coffee shop and ask for the spent grinds, they'll be more then happy to hand them over.

Ok so I found some wheat straw and I'm about to start sterilizing. Do I simply use the straw or should i mix some grain in with it in the pillow case?

sorry. I know I've read a few of them. max temp of 180. I just keep mixing up the words.
My question is do I add grain and limestone to the straw and the PASTURIZE like this one says http://www.shroomery.org/8394/Making-Straw-Based-Mushroom-Growing-Substrate
or do I simply use straw like this one says http://www.shroomery.org/8390/ShroomGods-Straw-Tek
also does it matter how much cake you crumble up into each one or with that simply effect time and contamination possibilities?

spawn ratio is like 1/4 most of the time. You add the lime to the straw then pasteurize it. The grain should be sterilized and then lets the mysc grow on it then spawn that to the pasteurized straw if you mix it first you will pasteurize the spawn and kill it.
