Outdoor Cinctulus cultivation?

Hey all. I've got a fairly large garden and plenty of spare room and I'd love to have Cinctulus growing in it (partly because the spores are free!)!
I just made a small compost pile; grass and the other small plants that grow in the grass, stuff that's been sitting in the bin for a week, I mixed many Cinctulus spore prints (probably about 30 to 40, mixed sizes) with compost and rain water (had some from buckets sitting outside) It was a dry layer of compost (I didn't want to soak it all in tap water), a layer with rain water and the spores and another dry layer of compost.
Since I have the choice, what's the best substrate for size/potency/amount? I can easily get free straw/horse manure.

Really? That sucks. You tried everything I guess?

I tried what you tried on a smaller scale,and I also tried using grains,manure,grass clippings,and mixes of these with no results:( Also notice that there is very little to no info,or grow logs about growing them any where on the net.

I figured they weren't attempted much because they are often so common and not really potent, not because it was hard. And even weirder, you think such a widespread (which I'd group with being an easy, adaptable grower) mushroom would be easily grown outdoors!

I'll grab some petri and agar and give it a shot and on different substrates!

I think they are not cultivated for both reasons,and I read that erowid link well over 10 years ago petri and agar seem like the only possible way to do it.
