Quick question about oudoor patches.

So over where I live, it's winter right now and everything is covered with a bit of snow and ice. Say if I took some straw/hpoo/verm mix and added a couple of crumbled cakes or spores and made a nice bed for it, would this survive until the spring? The whole idea was to get the bed done now and in spring it would start to colonize, meaning earlier fruits.

it would work if you had a heater. you can buy them at garden stores for plants and shit you put it under the bed and it will keep it warm enough.

I'd say don't even waste your time on it! You seem to live in a temperate zone of the earth and since cubes etc. only grow in tropical or moist sub tropical areas, your chances of success are at about zero!

if you are going outdoors than grow something with some kick!!!! Azurescens!! Easier than you think. Or maybe try ps cyanofib var san francisco. These things are super adaptive and very strong!!!!
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

All I have to work with right now are cubes and Mexicana Jalisco. I was thinking of doing a 6" wide, 6" trench running 10ft across my garden.

Sorry to double post, but are there any species of Psilocybe which can survive winter and fruit again the year after?

Just the other day, I read that the mycelium can live down to -20 C. But, just because someone posted that and I read it, that doesn't make it fact. 3-4" down, then cover with manure. Try it and tell us in the spring how it worked out.
If you're just looking to get rid of old/contaminated cakes, that is. But, if you're wanting to start a serious outdoor grow, then I'd do some reading. There is info on this site.

There's plenty of material concerning this matter. Just try the search function! 
@r2 As I said before, when you're from the temperate zones of the earth (What I expect, since there's snow at your place right now), go for wood loving mushrooms, such as Ps. Cyanescens, Ps. Azurescens etc.. That should be no problem. But if you do live there, it's be too cold in winter and too dry in summer. I don't know if it would work, if you'd do kind of a garden house grow, using a plastic cover or something equal, but generally it wouldn't be possible. It's for a reason they don't grow in this climate.
Anyway, wood lovers are more like than cubes, since they are very easy to cultivate and way more powerful.

So I could actually put out some cyan or azure spawn soon and not have to worry about the mycellium dying? If they can't grow here, what if I had a dome on top of the bed to keep things humid and cord heaters in the ground maybe?

That would be bogus! It just depends on where you live. In what country or state do you live?? If it's in the temperate zones of the earth, there shouldn't be a problem. Just spwan the mycelium in spring, NOT in winter!
