| What happens if you mix mycelum of different strains in one tray?! We argue here with my room mate, and I claim that when you mix 2 or more strains in one tray and let them fruit nothing special will happen and it will form mushrooms of the two strains at the same time. He thinks that they will hybridize. As far as I know hybridization is either impossible that way or impossible at all at present. But there are strains that are called hybrids - I have no idea if it's scientifically correct to call them so. As far as I know new strains are made through cloning. Many thanx in advance to those who help me answer those questions  |

| 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.

| Technically, every time you do a multispore innoc, you are 'mixing strains'. It is possible that you would hybridize named strains by mixing spores tho. Its just that generally speaking you won't be able to tell which are which.

| now i dont know much, and about this i really dont know much  but i remember readin a mushroom grow book and i think it said that the two types can mix somehow, i think theres spores meet and do what spores do, but it wont be those mushrooms that are "hybrids" or whatever but it's there spores that will be. |
