Transplanting productive dung specimens

I'm researched and researched and I can't find any good, just very general and vague info on this, I was wondering if anyone could help.
Considering how productive a certain patch of land is and how close it is to my home, how effective would it be to simply transplant productive dung specimens to say, my back lawn?
The same cowpies produce over and over after rainy spells, would transplanting them damage the mycelium or completely kill it and cause them not to grow? I've seen dung a in bag techniques shown, but this seems redundant to me.

Never tried it, but hey, if you dug around and under it, I mean they transplant 20 foot trees all the time.

I realize this may be longshot, but what is the likelyhood of success if I just took newer dung, and dropped spores on them? If it naturally happens all the time, this shouldn't be too much of a longshot.

You can pick up the cow pies and break them up into a compost pile or shallow manure bed in your yard. Mulch over the top with straw. This is how I originally started out in the early 70's, when there was no internet, no grow guides, nothing. RR

The straw serves to retain moisture and protect the mycelium from heat/contam, etc?

The straw helps to protect the ground from sunlight, thus helping to retain moisture. As it breaks down at the straw/soil interface, it also conditions the soil, feeding the mycelium. Don't worry about contaminants outdoors. RR

Contaminants cant get a hole of substrates outdoor because it has unlimited FAE...That is why people say to drill a bunch of holes in your fruiting chamber for better FAE exchanges because ultimately what you are trying to do is make a perfect environment indoor...Contaminants don't like a lot of FAE...so doing so greatly reduces your chances of contaminants
...I could have said that better...theres still so much to learn in this hobby...I hope you get the answer
