Panaelous cinctulus cardboard inoculation

So I was cruising the forums, and I saw some pretty cool posts about ovoids colinizing cardboard. I have a horse manure pile, and it has an abundance of cinctulus. Is it possible to use cardboard to inoculate, even though it's not a wood lover ? & If not, would it be possible to use stem butts to inoculate horse manure ? I have tons of it that I could bring back home and use.

If you have a horse manure pile colonized with cinctulus, maybe you should just grab part of the horse manure pile instead.

It's at the farm that I own ! Do you think if I brought a fair bit of horse manure and straw back to my house and soaked it in water, then threw stem butts in, that it would produce mycelium ?
I'd also like to try soaking cardboard and putting stem butts in between, but from what I've read cinctulus is not a woodlover, so does that mean it wont produce mycelium on the cardboard ?

So if you have horse manure that's colonized and has mushrooms growing out of it, you can just bring it back and put it in your back yard and water it. If you have a compost pile, you can bury it in there. I'm not knocking your stem butt idea, it's just that if you already have a nice big block of colonized substrate and then you try to go back to cardboard for spawn, you're taking a big step backward. The entire idea of cultivation is to get what you already have (possibly literal) tons of, so make use of it the best you can.

What would be the best way to dig up the mycelium without hurting it ? Just a shovel ?
& Should I put the clump of mycelium in a shoebox to transport it ? or a small rubbermaid ? Any suggestions ?
& What would be the best thing to cover the mycelium with ? Considering it's panaeolus cinctulus ?

Let's put it this way: when people spawn cakes to bulk they use a cheese grater, and when we break up grains we do it by slamming our jars against bike tires or phone books about a hundred times. Psilocybe mycelium is very resistant and even if you do hurt it, it'll come right back. So sure, a shovel. Or a jackhammer. Or pitch it into a wood chipper. 
I wouldn't cover it. I'd just bring the turds that are fruiting back home in whatever old thing you can find to put it in, like a bag or a box or your wife's purse, put it in the back yard and then water it with a watering can. If you want to start a bigger patch, you can break it up and mix it into horse manure that ISN'T growing cinctulus, but if you've got tons of it growing and you just want to be able to pick it more easily and increase yields by increasing the availability of water, just a wet pile of colonized h-poo will do you just fine.
