Certainly dung. A common substrate for growing mushroom is a straw or shredded wood depending on the species plus manure.

Not certainly. A LARGE number of fungi grow just fine without manure. I think this is a common misconception since agaricus bisporus (portobello, bella, white, cremini, button) need it to grow well, and it is the most commonly human-grown fungus by a long shot.
