Hello a few posts back it was suggested that you could save the spores and
seed a patch of mushrooms in the garden.

If this is so perhaps you would be good enough to repost this information.

If you leave the cap of a "ripe" mushroom on a piece of paper, with the
leaves downwards for a day, you will see a vast number of spores which have
fallen on to the paper. You could shake this out over the ground where you
want to encourage mushrooms to grow. Or alternatively, just put a mushroom
head on the spot and protect it against the weather for a day or two.

Having said that, it is highly unlikely that you will succeed, because
mushrooms are excessively fussy about where they will decide to settle down.

You could help nature along a bit by a scattering of powdered chalk if
cultivated mushrooms are to provide the spores.

Well I failed in my searches for a packet of mushroom spawn so I'm off
this weekend to a friends farm - she has kindly collected a bag of them
from her fields and I'm going to be sowing them in the next day or so.

I'll let you know how I get on in a year or so!

I am quietly confident though ;-)

Don't be too confident! Mushrooms are exceedingly picky about where they
want to establish themselves.

I would put some of the horse manure into a box and put the mushrooms onto
that, at least that way the slugs wont have them.
