Yeast symbiosis with plants

so i have something growing, used yeast and sugar in a plastic bag as CO2 generator yeast started growing on the peat moss, and then i thought.. cant you just pour some sugar onto the peat moss and make the yeast grow like crazy, in symbiosis with the plants that are CO2 dependant? or would this at one point take out the plants somehow, because if not then this could be the easiest and most compact way of giving your plants CO2, potentially. at least easiest.

Pure sugar is probably toxic to yeast or either it would probably just turn into a moldy sticky mess...

mmm no not really, ordinary sugar, sucrose is whats commonly used for making alcohol with yeast but a sticky mess, well the yeast would only grow where there is enough humidity or sugar.. one problem could be the alcohol formed which would halt the yeasts growth perhaps

Don't give up your day job.
Actually, plants love molasses, and the microbial stuff that loves molasses help the plants grow by doing stuff, so you may not be completely off the mark.
Please don't dump fermenting white sugar with bakers yeast on your plants for their sakes, however. Not sure why yeast is already growing on your peat moss, did you already do this? How do you know it's yeast?

well im supposing its yeast, but it could also very well be some bacteria that settled from air, as it did have a kinda mycellium-ish appearance which would be strange for yeast
i guess i supposed it was yeast due to it was in a closed plastic bag in the sun, closed for several days where the humidity gets very high and temperature goes around 35*C or more i decided to discard of it by drying out the soil for now
about sugar and plants, i dont quite understand how the plants could use the sugars.. as i understand it they dispose of the sugar through the roots in order to take up more carbon through CO2, which is the cycle in plants..

There are beneficial bacteria and other microbes that eat the molasses you water in and make nutrients more available to the roots. pH has a lot to do with nutrient availability as well, so adjusting your feed solution at the end with pH down for example is important.
