The spores in the cap are also active but with cubensis in low wind they tend to drop on neighboring caps. So being eaten directly and spread should have a higher load transited.
I’m no scientist either so take my thoughts with a cow pie.
I just remembered that shaggy mane, another dung loving species, tends to grow on leech fields or wherever septic tanks live. So I think they will just grow anywhere there’s poop, no need to be eaten.
