Can you inoculate a Staw Log with LC syringe?

I got my Big Island Hawaiians growing in a Liquid Culture, I read on the Hawkeye although this strain loves dung, they will grow on straw. I mean I will differently get some horse dung, and straw. But my question is do I need to make a Seed Spawn like WBS, first before I put it onto the straw, or can I just shoot some LC all over a tightly packed Straw Log? And it will just colonize.

I know if you pour the LC into a plastic water bottle, and poke a hole in the top of the bottle cap, you can go around shooting stuff outside and make shrooms grow everywhere, so would this work with Straw... hmmm? But I've read somewhere I think that RR says the LC won't cling to straw? I'm confused...

Cubensis I assume? You can grow them on straw, but manure or coir is more nutritious.
You definitely should not just squirt LC all over a straw log. Straw is a bulk substrate that has to inoculated with some kind of spawn--BRF cakes or grains--unless you plan on waiting 6 months+ for full colonization--if it happens at all with that method.

You know this from where? This is by all means an inefficient and unreliable method of growing.
That's not to say it wouldn't work. You could grow mushrooms this way; you could also grow nothing. But again, you'll probably have an exponentially higher success rate, more mushrooms and less time required for the mushrooms to grow if you use the standard procedure of inoculating spawn and then using it to inoculate a bulk substrate.
All in all, stick to reliable methods until you know what you're doing.

I know this from a video I saw, the person had a Poland Spring bottle with LC in it, and went walking around at night spraying the ground.
Here's a another video from a different person showing some of the results of spraying LC outside.
