Alex Ignatiev and Manufacturing on the Moon (Fraser Cain/Open Space)
This bloke wants to mine raw materials from lunar regolith, manufacture solar cells, then sell us the electricity (as well as all the oxygen by-product that's otherwise useless to him).

if you could put it underground and provide some sort of fertiliser to the soil, could you grow fungi?

You could put a container underground and turn it into a shroomery.
But I think it would need to be powered for temperature regulation, ventilation, and probably some humidity control and whatever else you'd need, like robot mushroom farmers.
I think lunar regolith is less toxic than Martian regolith, but it's still not something you or a mushroom would want to ingest. Razor sharp, statically charged poison.
I guess whatever is left over after Mr. Ignatiev has finished extracting resources might be non-toxic, and could be fashioned into a soil base for fertiliser.
And I guess there's nothing stopping us genetically engineering vacuum dwelling moon mushrooms in the long run.
