You will end up with 2 strains growing side by side and nothing special will happen. Beleive me I have mixed as many as 4 different strains in a tray before. You will end up with different size mushrooms for each strain if there is that much of a difference in each strain.

This isnt like working with tomatoes and having cross pollenazation where you could end up with a different tomato the following year from the seeds.
