can you just inject spoors into a pile of poo?

there are many cow fields around my area but no shrooms are growing due to the feed the farmers are feeding them i guess. there was a famous field that we used to always get tons of shrooms from but now they "lime their field"so there hasnt been shrooms in forever. i was thinking since mushrooms only grow when you introduce the spores coulnt i just go inject some spores into i pile of shit from a cow or a horse and shrooms grow?

how do you think they normally grow then? obviously they have no problem growing outdoors as long as the climate and conditions are right. sterility doesn't matter when your growing outdoors.
outdoor patches are possible, but you might want to set it up a little better than just injecting spores into poo.
try to get some mycelium cultured and then spawn it to a nice shady, moist spot with some poo and straw.
theres more detailed overviews on how to grow outdoors, just use the search function!

yea ive read a few post about outdoor growing but i was just wondering if simply injecting some spores with do it. im growing indoors now because of the shroom drought here now days. i dont really want to seriously try and grow outdoors i just wanted to see if injecting the spoors would grow to shrooms and eventually spread around the field. it seemed like it would work, just wanted input- thanks

You need a well-colonized and uninfected substrate to get good results. Yes, you MIGHT get results, but it would not be worth the syringe. Do some reading. There is a lot of good info here. You can always spawn from cakes, rye, berries, dollar bills, ect. But a straight-shot is a good way to get straight-fucked.

It CAN happen. But the probability it would is very slim. I recommend reading around the forums. It's fun!

It said nothing about it because its not a good way to do it...Start the grow indoors get some grains colonized a spawn to some poo.

even if it did work it would be quicker and you'd have a lot more if you just started your own covert outdoor patch.

Well put numonkei.
If you are looking for simplicity, try a spawn bag and a syringe.

I once read that the cow's stomach is one of the factors in a spore's germination process. The cow's stomach acts literally as an incubator.
This will not prove to be a cost efficient method unless you are making the syringes yourself...and if you're growing mushrooms why would you even bother playing Johnny Mushroom Spore of your local cow fields.
Oh, and if you find a field that doesn't use any of the numerous methods of preventing fungus growth, I've always wanted to try to activate a field by dropping a huge load of spores in the cow's feed box. Wink Wink.

I have always heard that the mushrooms release their spores, the cows ingest them, which in turn hydrates the spores and incubates them beginning colonization. The cow then poops out a minimally colonized cow pie that eventually fruits.

im pretty sure that spores will colonize poo eventually. its a bad idea and theres a million better ways to do it..but it would work in some semblance. i dont think they have to go through an animals digestive tract for them to colonize a substrate.
am i wrong?

themange, no they do not have to go through the digestive tract. It is simply that when a cow eat spores in the grass he's grazing on they can survive. The spores survive because the cows chew the cud, and have 6 stomachs, therefore no digestive acids that would normally kill the spores. This is the reason you look for wild shrooms in cow pastures, not horse.

Cows only have 1 stomach and in that stomach are 4 compartments.

From the way I understand it...h/poo makes great nutrient base for shrooms after it has been leached. While c/poo may have shrooms growing out of a unleached patty. But, typically horse fields that have shrooms are also used by cows.

anything that shits and pisses at the same time needs to have its poo leeched before you can use it indoors.
outdoors, mothernature does all the work.
spores can colonize poo of many different species.
rabbits, chickens, horses, cows, elephants, donkeys..etc.

yea they had a cow,a little baby cow and a ton of horses. but the cows and horses were in dif fences. i thought the shrooms were gana be in the cow shit cause iv always herd that shrooms dont grow in horse poo, but to my suprise we found none in the cow part and all in the horse part of the field. that was the only time ive ever found shrooms in horse poo though. i take that back i found shrooms in hpoo 2 times dif fields even.
