Spraying spores out of a water bottle in water.......?

Say I were to get my hands on some Weilii spores and had an area with their habitat and weather conditions, do you think sparying the spore water all over the place liberally on the substrate they normally grow on would produce mycelium?
Say I were to live in FL or GA in the Cube belt but had no Cubes growing on my property but had the spores. If I took a water bottle and mixed a bunch of spores up in the water and sprayed the water everywhere all over some cow dung do you think the dung may colonize? Or would I need some spawn?
You'd think this would be a good way to introduce some Cubes to your farm in FL if you never had any fruiting on the dung on your farm in the past.. ? Either that or just spawn some grain to the cow dung and let the shrooms fruit and sporulate all over the freakin place. You'd think that would give you a pasture full of Cubes.
Sound like it would work or do I sound nuts? The water bottle idea for starters.

Maybe instead of being a retard you could tell me why you think my idea is retarded isn't of just calling it names and saying it won't work.

I don't know if this is the right place for this question, but I'm going to say your idea may, or may not, work lol. It would have a much better chance at success if you used some spawn out in the field. But duster has a good idea as well. Mix in a bunch of prints with the cows water, or their food and let nature take its course.
Good luck!

your orininal idea WOULD work, but don't expect it to happen fast.. I would say 4 years after the introduction of spores ,and after a few natural flushes the patch could span an entire field.......

I tried playing "johnny weilii seed" today in my yard. I clipped the dirt covered bottoms off of the weilii we found and let them sit in a humid environment over night, the next morning the mycelium was already spreading. So I got out a little hand shovel, dug some shallow holes, and placed the jiblets of weilii stems/mycelium in places I thought weilii would be likely to grow. My guess is that if I see any results it won't be untill next year.

I woulda of never thought of that! I did something similar but I am not sure it will have any real effect which was holding a mushroom out of the window while diriving so its spores went everywhere......
