Well, I haven't tried this myself, as I mentioned, but if moss can survive it I suspect fungal spores would as well. Blending is a purely mechanical action, after all, and you're more or less putting it right into fertilizer (the buttermilk). Honey is only antibacterial when concentrated - I say this as a mead brewer. Add water and it will support yeasts/ bacteria just fine.
The compost tea you mention would likely be a better carrier than buttermilk, though.
