Mushrooms found growing out of beer trap

So this is my first post, and I'm very excited about it.
I had a monotub going for a while, got a couple decent flushes out of it and then decided to break it into chunks and toss them around my back yard.
I had planned to give them water and stuff but as time went on I forgot about them and eventually they were taken apart and carried away by animals I assume.
However, one chunk I tossed landed into a beer trap, unnoticed by me, that I had placed a few days beforehand. I had forgotten all about them by today, but my friend was looking around and noticed some mushrooms growing. I was shocked! I couldn't believe that after so many failed attempts I had finally grown them in a place where they should definitely not grow outdoors.
I was wondering if anyone can believe that the beer hydrated my substrate enough to fruit, I never would have thought that beer could be a nutrient source, I definitely don't intend on spraying beer on my next batch but it's very interesting that they are the only ones that fruited, and it was only the substrate left in the little bowl, the rest of the chunk had disappeared.

The beer trap was for the snails, had problems with them attacking a tub I had hanging outside, don't know how they could sense the myc through the plastic...I honestly put them back where I found them though, let the slugs eat them, they were already chewed up, I got enough from my tub, might as well let them finish them off.

Only a fool wouldn't dip them in salt water, or at least rinse them off first before eating fresh mushrooms. Of course there's the more popular approach, which is dehydrating them.

Beer has got stuff mushies love. Sugar, carbs, water. Makes an acceptible agar as well.

Def really cool. I'm waiting a few month on mine. I had a nice little patch of myc growing in the corner of the garden. The area got tilled in with the rest of the bed
