Amylase enzyme as a substitute for malt

So as almost everyone here is aware of using light malt for agar recipes, it got me thinking. I also enjoy homebrewing and have amylase, which is simply a natural extract from malt. With this, I'm wondering, would it be a sufficient substitute for malt, or are there other compounds that the LC would need for nutrients?

Amylase is an enzyme. Enzymes are proteins. I believe mycelium needs carbs.
Amylase specifically is an enzyme that breaks down starches into sugars. Why it is helpful on brewing. You probably brew with all grain rather than extract. The amylase helps break the brain down into sugary extract.
Pretty sure it would not work. At least not very well.

Nice gif.
Amylase breaks down the starches in the GRAIN.
