Moving/spreading Cyanescens mycelium

Today I found yet another patch, within about 5 minutes of hunting.
In my residence, outside one of the building there are these little shrubs on bark, and I was walking past as bunch of workers were just finishing doing yard work on the area. I glanced down and saw 6 or so mature cyanescens right where they had been working.
I came back as they left, and I harvested close to 100 middle-age to mature cyanescens. To my dismay a few of them were destroyed by the workers, there is mycelium scattered in huge chunks all over the place, along with cyanescens mush everywhere.
There are enough pins on the undisturbed mycelium underneath the bushes for many more shrooms. But the mycelium that has be strewn about, is there a way I can "re-plant" it? Could I sort of move it underneath the shrubs and cover it lightly with bark/whatnot? Or does this not work and the scattered mycelium is useless?
This is shaping up to be an awesome season! First year living in this residence and two patches just feet from my doorstep:D

Spread it to the rest of the complex. Especially out of view from your neighbors.

Do exactly that. Just re-bury it somewhere suitable, and near a sprinkler head. Chances are next year you will see a new patch there.

No chance they'd grow this year? there are pins all over, and it's pretty early in the season, I'd imagine these patches will fruit again, right? Or do patches only fruit once a year?

Transplanted mycelium will need to knit itself back together and take hold of its new substrate before it fruits, and this will take long enough that it won't fruit this season. The original patch may fruit again, however.
