Can you make a big ol slab of mushroom meat with just tempeh starter? (self.vegan)

So tempeh is soybeans or lentils fermented in tempeh starter. The soybeans or lentils get embedded in mycelium grown from tempeh starter. But is it possible to just get a whole mushroom meat slab with just all mycelium? Or does tempeh starter really need soybeans or lentils to grow?

I think that what you can do is still have some sort of beans there (food for the mushroom) but let it overgrow to the point where you have a top part that is clean and you can cut it off.

Curious what the nutricional value of just the micelium is.
