The question was whether good fungal-strand containing material could be
added to hot compost, and other foods added to help the fungi.

Yes. Add the fungal-strand containing material at the beginning of the
composting pile. Add fungal foods like wood chips (not smaller than 1/8 inch, not
alot bigger than 1/2 inch, except for maybe 5% greater than 1 inch - don't get
crazy about precision here!), shredded paper, shredded cardboard, dried
leaves. Anything wide C:N ratio.

OK?
