I don't think squirting LC on a properly prepared substrate, or not, on an outdoor bed would result in success either. Seems the LC would, as soon as it left it's sterile environment, attract every contaminate spore on the planet to it like a tractor beam, due to the high sugar content of the liquid medium. Them contaminate spores would surely gain a foot-holding and infect the inoculant spreading to the substrate.
If you were going to go the route of squirting an inoculant onto a dung pile, I'd go with a dark and heavy MS solution and spray it onto field aged cow manure in a shady area. Cow manure is one of the manures that cubensis grow off in the wild (horse manure is not). There's also been reports of success inoculating cow manure with spores, outdoors.

Personally; if I were to consider doing this... I would pull myco-water from a colonized grain jar for applying to an outdoor dung pile via a pocketed syringe... Then again; if it were me, I'd use the whole colonized jar of grain and leave the syringe at home.

your second point is 
stripping that mycelium from its food souce (grain LC) and introducing it to a new harsher food source (innoculating substrate) isnt going to work out too well
think baby food. toddler food. adult food liquid culture, grain, substrate
babies cant eat adult food
or can they, i dont know

i just gave this a once over, and i see nothing conflicting.
you were told that squirting mycelium laden sugar water onto piles of horse manure will not work.
you will want to collect that horse manure, properly leach it (or not if its nice and field ages) make a nice big bed of horse manure, and inoculate it with grainspawn.
if you are unsure of how to prepare grain, check my sig.
if you are unsure of how to inoculate grain. use spores.
use sponsors.
pm me if that was too confusing.
