Dried Mushrooms

Long story short, I have a bag of mushrooms for the Asian market I have no interest in eating. Can I chop these up and add them to my soil? Or soak them in water and feed plants that way? Or will this cause mushrooms to grow?

Maybe I should mix them with some compost (I don't really have a compost, because my only leaves are from black walnuts, and I'm only going to be living here for a year)? I just feel that mushrooms could be really beneficial.

Those mushrooms could add a small amount of organic matter to your soil and you will not get more mushrooms from them.

That will definitely not gonna cause mushrooms to grow. And mushrooms not even in the plant kingdom, they are more to the bacteria side.

Awesome, I'm glad it won't produce (although I know it's fungi, I don't know how spores and all that actually function). Thanks!
