Lobster mushroom "culture"

So I was reading about lobster mushrooms, and I hope sosomeone'familiar, but a parasite infects 2 different types of host mushrooms species and turns It into the lobster mushroom. The lobster mushroom is still the same mushroom if I understand correctly, just under reaction the the parasite. One website says.
""To begin, you will simply place the russula brevipes or the lactarius poperatus in a nutrient-rich medium. Make sure that you are doing this is a clean environment in the most sterile way possible.
Once the mycelium (the root system) begins to form, you’ll want to transfer that to a jar of sterilized grain until it grows so immensely that it fills the jar completely. The goal from here will be to spawn the mushroom in the jar in different containers.
This can be done by cutting the mycelium into sections and placing them in different jars.
Once they start to spawn and produce their own root system, you can inoculate them with the compost material, which will force them to grow. Now, here comes another tricky part.
During the growing stages, you’ll have to introduce the hypomyces lactifluorum parasite, which will transform the existing mushrooms into lobster mushrooms. Skipping this step will only leave the mushrooms to turn into fully mature russula brevipes or lactarius piperatus.
But I saw a vendor on etsy selling ""20 g Fresh Hypomyces lactifluorum Mycelium LOBSTER MUSHROOM Spawn Spores Seeds + Free eBook https://www.etsy.com/listing/652288761/20-g-fresh-hypomyces-lactifluorum
So they're selling the parasite as mycelium..
My question is, well first, am I understanding this correctly? And does a parasite colonize or produce mycelium?

Well to answer my own question...
First off not all parasites are fungis, and not all fungis are parasites.
But however in this case yes I do believe after a quick search the parasitic fungi that I was talking about does indeed produce mycelium
I don't even know why I asked.

Yeah parasites come in all types and the lobster mushroom is an example of one fungi parasitizing another. Just curious, How would you apply the parasite to the host mushrooms? Spray them with lc once they are fruiting?
