Newbie with "alternative" methods of growing

Hey guys. My brother and I are completely new at growing, so we didn't have any of the things you're supposed to use to grow. All we had was three 12cc syringes. We're also kinda broke. So we decided to try something completely off the wall.
Basically, we used some simple biology to grow 2cc's of Pink Buffalo. We took a jar and filled it with alternating layers of naturally decomposing wood and regular potting soil, then filled it about 1/3 of the way with water so that the decomposes a little faster. Then we sterilized it and added our spores. What're your thoughts on this? Do you think this will work, or will it be a complete waste? I'll post any results we have on here. Thanks for any input!

But it will grow off of wood Ive seen it with my very own eyes. What worries me is it sounds like the water content is way too high and if so that's a complete waste. Either way sounds like you got a fun little experiment. Don't expect much mushrooms if any at all though.

My vote is no.
Sounds like someone read for about 30 seconds and decided.. "Oh yea we can do this."
