Is My Patch Dead?

So I found about five psilocybe subaeruginosa growing in my garden a couple of weeks ago. I was delighted. I picked two of them (by cutting them at the bottom of the stem) and used them that night. I left the rest there.
I also dropped in the nearby area: one dead and rotting p. subaeruginos which I'd found just down the road and another one which I picked several weeks ago but never got round to eating and it became black and rotten. I dropped these mushrooms near the patch in the hope that they would encourage it to grow.
The next day, I took the spore prints from the mushrooms I'd picked down to the patch and the mushrooms that had been there the day before had all shriveled up and gone completely black. I used a tissue to wipe the spores off the paper and put them in the soil.
I don't know if the shrooms dried up because it was a hot, sunny day or if I accidentally introduced some sort of mushroom-eating bacteria by dropping the dead shrooms there (is that possible?). Now, it's a couple of weeks later and we've had a lot of cold and wet weather but the patch is now completely empty.
Is the patch dead or is it just waiting for some more cold and wet weather? If it is dead, might it be my fault?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It is totally possible to know, and have you ever grown subaeruginosa? I'm dying to know how.
No, you didn't fuck up anything. The patch is almost certainly not dead, and if it is dead it isn't your fault.

Thanks guys. And bakerb, how do I grow my own? I've tried reading some of the guides but it seems so complicated. Are there any simple step-by-step instructions out there?

Fruiting subaeruginosa indoors is extremely difficult. Your best option would probably be making grain spawn just as with cubensis, then using that to inoculate some wood chips and making an outdoor bed.
