Sorry, but no. Sterile substrates are required for any fungi to grow axenic (pure) culture. For research, too, which is not known to be squeamish :-) Even edible mushrooms are grown sterily only because on non-sterile substrates mushrooms would be soon overcome with mould and pathogenic fungi which will mean serious decrease in production.
