Small operation to study yard mushroom - asking for advice on substrate/inoculation/sterility

I picked a mushroom from my yard and have been getting a sporeprint for over a day now with the black/white paper underneath. My plan is collect the spores in a classic baggie, put some water in, and extract it with an industrial syringe. I want to use an open-air grow technique since I do not intend on eating them. I have cow manure soil and vermiculite. I become of unsure of my plan here. I want to grow them in a pot or maybe on a log. What would be a good, simple, sterile way to grow them for their overall study? Indoors and open-air preferable. Thanks for your time.

Do you know what you are even growing? You picked a mushroom and want to grow it out.
What does your mushroom look like, eat, colonize?
Putting spores in a baggie and sucking it out with water will yield you 0 mushrooms and mycelium. Lookup how to do Wild bird seed, sterilize them and inoculate with sterile spore syringe and let colonize. Then you can spawn them to a medium in your yard.

Alright, cool. I don't have access to a pressure cooker, but thanks for the tip and I'll look into birdseed. And no, I don't know what species it is.

please post a picture of both the mushroom and the spore print you took. Identifying the species is the first step for us to tell you proper growing parameters.
