Difficult. You could inject sterile water with a syringe between the gills of the dry mushrooms and suck it up again in the syringe and  get some spores this way. Chances are you will also get some contaminants along too.

A different approach which definitely works is to place a gill on agar, but this is an advanced procedure, see www.shroomery.org/agar
