yes and no. ideally you will need a living plant root in order to get the best IMO. for me IMO is best collected from the places that have the widest plant diversity. Diversity is natures back up. You might find 10 or more strains of a single bacteria type, all associating with certain plant types, and all allowing a wider operating range. You can select some pretty neat microbes from compost piles, but mostly these are primary digester based and related bacteria.eco,is it possible to get imo from a culture from a compost pile,,that damn rice and curd is rocking in that pile
best bet is to head out to the wild, a forest for fungus, a grassland area, esp one that has had frequent grazing cattle, but technically you can collect it anywhere.
You might also just go about collecting weeds that are growing well. Chop these up and put in a bucket of good water and leave it in the sun for a few days. You should get something in color like the tea above @Organikz posted. Green usually, this representing the Nitrogen these suckers by grabbing. This you can use as a Nitrogen fert right and all from weeds that otherwise just piss you off
