With all due respect, it depends on the ecosystem, ours tends to slam anything it doesnt like fairly hard!
We have grown Shitake mushrooms in the piles of cut and fallen alder branches on our place with a noted limited success. they havent spread, have been hard to get started, have had limited yeailds and largely have needed to be introduced to the wood in a time consuming manner.
We innocculated logs with the spawn by drilling holes in the logs and then poking it inside with a chopstick
then sealed it with wax - bit of a mission!
That said we have had some (increasingly) good results. we have done as well or better simply picking ripe field/horse shrooms and dumping them in a new place in the feild to grow another ring.
Dad is fairly keen to have a go at innoculating our walnuts and/or hazels with truffle spawn as well.
I would say look and ask around at what the local edible species are in you area and try spreading them first if you fancy rambeling for shrooms. failng that try introducing appropriate spawn.
Or as O.M.T. says a shroom shed can be a good idea and easier to controll the climate on - warmish humid and darkish being ideal for most shrooms. an old chicken house moved into the shade might be ideal. do loog up what kind of substrate your prefered shroom lives on though - it makes a world of difference in getting the little blighters started!
best of luck
