How do spores get into animal dung?

So people have been talking about feeding spores to animals. This has made me think about some shit. Cows at least digest their food differently from humans and I think a fair amount of alcohol is made in the process. So is it actually in anyway documented that animals ingest spores? or rather are spores spread by the wind or are present already in the area the shit falls?
because it seems like as if you could inoculate your live stock, then those with animals could actually have a pretty good stealth grow at least at certain times of the year?

Both, and it's common for animals to pass spores and seeds. In fact, many seeds won't germinate at all unless they've been through an animal. It also seems reasonable that mushrooms drop spores on the grass, which are then covered when the next load comes from a cow.
The fields I've seen started all had to be in the native climate anyway. If you live in an area with long, hot summers and no thunderstorms, the mycelium isn't going to survive. In cube habitat, it's hot during summer, but there's also thunderstorms every few weeks, even during the hot spells. RR

Well, then I sorta wish someone with approperiate animals would try this and report the results.

Appropriate animals and appropriate climate. It's far faster to grow indoors. RR

I've got 6 horses. I would do it, but its 100+ here and hardly ever rains so it would be a waste.
