Innoculating cow patties with a spore syringe...

Is it possible to innoculate a cow patty with a spore syringe?

Any way to grow caps with the help of one of them without being in a lab? Haha, I want to bring more potency, increase the yield, and choose my strain. All of which a spore syringe offers. (even though what I get is already pretty bombskies, the potency (strains) ranges for sure and the yield)

Any tips to make your field yields bigger?

lots of questions...

It is possible - but unlikely that it will work as what you have done is reduced your chances to be identical to any other spore that lights or is internal to that patty.

You will never enhance your potency or yield by innoculating a cow patty.

Slightly off subject but

I was reading the other day of a guy trying to spray spores in a cow field, which in turn would lead to the cows digesting the grass and pooping it out and becoming mushrooms. Thats a lot of stomach for the spores to make it through and im sure you would need to spray in high concentrations, but would the spores make it into the poop giving it a chance?

Maybe horses would be best?

I have no clue. I suspect that the spores are spread before the patty is laid and they germinate underneith. Stamets and his friends have long make sporeprints on their hats. The travel from country to country, putting billions of spores on the brim of their hats and - hopefully, eventually, spreading psy. spores across the globe and no one is the wiser. there are two more stories like that. There is a turf growing company in a western state that has certain desirable mushrooms growing regularly in it's turf - they then shave that turf up and ship it all over the country - mycelial mats and all. There is also a certain unnamed town where the grass in front of the courthouse grows that same mushroom.

You can bury spent cakes and grains from tubs in the field and hope they colonize that way, I do that in the beds around my house and get more mushrooms that way, don't see why it wouldn't work in a cow field.

Burying cakes is different than innoculating with spores

I have read this as well. I don't remember where.

Canndo lives in this unnamed town, and he's to blame for it being there ;)
