Agar spawn + Mini pony poo substrate = ???(PICS)

I think this will be quite original, at least I haven't seen anything like it so far... These are "left over" petry dishes. They were inoced with spores and used for transfers, now I was wondering what should I do with them. So I decided to try and case them to see what happens. First task was to get some horse poo, problem was to find a place with horses... ended up finding a mini pony breeding farm. Little tiny horses, full grown adults are less then 3 feet tall, most never reach 2 3/4 feet. I've seen many dogs much bigger then that. Anyway, I got my poo... went home then soaked, crumbled, rinsed, added 10% verm and pasturized for over 2 hours. Let it cool overnight. The rest is pretty self explanatory in the following pictures...
Bottom layer - about 3/4 inch substrate.
Petry dish with the mycelium.
Dump the whole thing in the tray
Cover it up with a top layer of 3/4 inch substrate. Cover the tray and head to incubation at 27*C.

So, what do you guys think? Does it look promissing?
Any feedback well appreciated

LOOKING GOOD.
I would bet mini pony poo,(as, good things come in small packages) will produce large horse size shrooms. 
Keep us advised

I would have broken up the thing of mycelium so that u have multiple inoculation points.

We'll have to wait and see... so far all I can say about their poo is: IT STINKS!!! Messed up my laundry room working working on this shit (literaly). Must've heard my girlfriend repeat this sentence 20 times: "I can't believe I am spending my weekend soaking/crumbling/rinsing/cooking horse shit" then I'd reply: "It's mini pony..."

This idea occurred to me, but since I was dealing with agar, and the bottom part of it was not colonized, I thought it would be too risky. Any tiny little whatever in contact with agar turns into a big red/yellow/green nasty contam... So I decided to stay on the safe side instead of aiming for high results and fast colonization. We'll see if I made the right decision...
