[Mycology] Are yeasts analogous to each other, to the point they can be used in food interchangeably?

Amouranth, the Kick streamer, is allegedly brewing beer with her vaginal yeast. It's an obvious publicity stunt to squeeze more money from her impressionable and "thirsty" audience.

Gross-factor aside, is this even possible? Is it analogous to brewer's yeast? Would this cause undesirable side effects or introduce undesirable compounds?
