In Europe the norm is Horse manure. 
Cow manure is too cold and waterlogged
to promote mushroom growth. That is why
you have always seen it well rotted. Horse 
manure, if it has already grown mushrooms
 will be sweet and will not burn plants. The
flies are attracted to the mushroom smell
and should not harm plants.
