Contaminated cakes in flowerpot? anyone else have sucess

Ok so about three weeks ago I started fruiting 8 cakes. Two of them had about a dime sized area of coweb so I cut the cobweb off and crumbled the cakes and tossed em in two pots with about a 80/20 composted manure soil mix. Pot 1 is small and has blue lavender growing (small plant) pot 2 is huge and has a patio peach.
Both pots took off and now i a getting about 10 pins in pot 1! The cakes in my fruiting chamber have some pins but not as dense as in the pot. Honestly in open air near the window I did not imagine either of these experiments to produce pins. I have been diligent with keeping them moist.
Pot 1 is almost completely one huge cake and pot 2 is about half covered.I have pot 2's soil covered with fallen leaves to help keep the larger amount of soil moist. plan on removing them based on growth in a week or so.
So my question is this, is there documentation of this working before or did I just get really lucky? I feel like with the open air and no pasteurization I was basically throwing those cakes out. Maybe the plants roots are helping protect the myc from bacterial infection?

I did something kind of the same but not really. My daughter went to the pumpkin patch with her grandma and when she came back she had a corn kernel and a pumpkin seed. I told her that we would put them in pots and grow them.
Any way a few days after we had planted her corn I was mixing my grain jars into my monos after they were mixed up I looked at a few of my jars and noticed I didn't shake them out very well and looked around for some where to dump the few colonized pieces of grain. I said fuck it and threw them in the pot with the corn and watered them down.
I didn't think much of it about a week later my daughter runs out when I got home from work and said "daddy you have to see my corn!" Thinking that it has Just grown some I went to take a look. Surrounding the corn was about 6 2 inch tall cubes. Not knowing she starts flicking them saying "ding ding".
Any way mine didn't make cakes or anything but def finished out it's life cycle.

RR once suggested I bury my cakes in a flower pot similar to how you've described doing it so its not so much a first as it is good to hear you've had success with it. The cakes I buried didnt do anything at all as far as I could tell.
I can tell you that all of the outdoor patches I've made were from very slow colonizing grains (due to stuffing the poly in to tight effecting sufficient GE) or grains that were showing signs of contam and they all worked out great (1oz per flush dried min) and were fucking massive mushies. All I was doing was literally digging a hole and filling it with BlackKow CPoo then mixing in the spawn, then covering with some leaves and watering every now and then if it hadn't rained in a day or 2. Next year a planned clean spawn bed is in store :-D
As everyone else will say tho... Pics or it didnt happen 
Cheer to your success though!
