Mud is apart of earth but not earth alone, it needs liquid to become it's watery form and I have never heard of mud being created by any other liquid than water.

I doubt even chemicals can imitate the properties of mud as there is so much about it we don't know.

Even the realms of magic of rules, limitations and guidelines they must observe otherwise what they want to do won't work and this is one such rule.

Mud is made up of a precisest amount of water mixed with soil and because their could be more water than mud, using water style would manipulate the water and leave the watery earth dry while manipulating the earth alone wouldn't work as the water would keep it in place.
