Will Mycelium grow into a wound?

Had a bit of an idea,
If I had an open wound and or burn and I used some sort of make shift, live mycelium patch from Reishi mushroom would it help effectively heal the damage?
Based on research chitin, and the 400 or so active components produced in Reishi it would do so. Not to mention the extremely high surface area that mycelium has compared to say a cream you put on a cut. I cbf getting into details off it all but the healing aspect is very promising!
What I'm wondering and something that is hard to find out is if I keep the mycelium alive by covering it but allowing it to breath, kind of like a colonization jar over my wound would the mycelium have any health implications or have the possibility of growing into the wound (Not that its bad, or good, its just unknown). I would want it to grow within the wound to come in contact with damage tissue and utilize its metabolites to help help them and prevent infection but I do not know if it would go 'in to' the body.
Many medical applications process chitin from fungi but this would take the process's step out of the equation and would go straight to fungi > wound > heal.

It would likely be irritable to the wound and unpleasant, much as athletes foot is. However, considering ganoderma do not regularly infect humans as a food source, i highly doubt this would work. Interesting idea though!

It might if you're made of wood.

But I'd presume in no way would the enzymes that Ganoderma would produce would effect us in anyway unlike athletes foot does. The ganoderma would not be 'infecting' the host it would be living on the host and in the process of it being live metabolites would leak out and contact damaged tissue whilst also preventing infections.

Tinea is to human skin as ganoderma is to wood.
It would still be considered an infection, assuming the ganoderma could live off of dead human flesh (it can't afaik)

Get a friend to take a spore syringe and shoot it in your ass. That way when you poo you will poo colonized spawn.
If you are constipated you might even see a few pins !
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I read smoking moldy weed is dangerous because it can make the mold spores grow in your lungs and give you a killa lung infection. It might work. I don't know.

Your immune system would attack the mycellium

Presumably, yes. But its not a fact. Its unknown how a non-pathogenic fungi would react to a human wound. I'm actually being serious guys, take your small minds and your lame jokes elsewhere please.

Yes I know that, I miscommunicated what I said prior. It wouldn't be living of the dead human flesh at all. It would simply be a temporary cast or bandage of sorts that would be excreting enzymes/metabolites in hopes to digest food, which it wouldn't because it can't digest human flesh, thus leading to your wound being covered in anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties at an extremely high surface area speeding up the wound healing process.
Its not hard to grasp the idea. You can not compare Tinea and Ganoderma sp. since they have completely different modes of nutrition. Is cleaning a wound with beneficial bacteria or the use of maggots to heal a wound considered an infection? no it isn't, same goes for this process.
