Gymnopilus luteofolius log rescue

So, someone who isn't me had recently gone hunting and found an old, rotted log with a healthy cluster of Gym luteofolius growing out of it. They harvested the mature specimens w/scissors and left the immature ones and those that hadn't yet broken through to the outside of the hollow space between the log and the ground to grow.
Today they went back to find that someone had recently decided to rip off some of the new specimens, toss them on the ground, and beat the hell out of the log breaking it in pieces and scattering them around a bit. Mycelium had been broken up with it, which they figured meant that the over-all organism had been harmed. This person who isn't me decided after harvesting the mature fruits that since the habitat had been brutalized and broken down, they might as well collect up all the pieces with visible mycellium, pins and immature specimens and take them home to protect them and hopefully attempt to nurse them back to health if possible, since where they had been before was obviously disrespected and unsafe.
So, my questions are as follows: 1. was this a complete waste of time and effort? once the medium has been beaten down like this, is there hope for this flush continuing?
2. what's the best method to revive it or keep it healthy?
3. does anyone know if this species will flush multiple times in a season?
4. Will it possibly come back next season from the same wood? if so, what should one do to give it the best chance to do so?
currently, they have all the bits stacked up on/around one another out in the yard near a patch of pinning cyans.
I know this is a long shot, since this sp. is bitter, only about half as potent as cubes by weight, and probably harder to cultivate from spore so not many probably choose to produce it, but the mycelium's already there so it shouldn't be that tough. Any input bwould be greatly appreciated.
TIA!

If anyone wants a spore print to make sure I know what I'm talking about, and that this is worth your time and effort to respond to, feel free to PM.
(I hope this second post isn't considered bumping. I'm serious about the offer.)

Honestly, it'll probably contaminate. According to Psilocybin mushrooms of the world by paul stamets, They fruit from june to novemeber any where from texas to british columbia. If i'm not mistaken, they fruit in the cold. It won't be as easy as cubes to maintain that temperature. But since it got broken apart, it'll be weak, and that's why it'll contaminate. Throw some of that myc on agar and isolate it. Then grow that.
