When you inject 2 different sub species into one brf cake? Would cause problems in anyway?
Also wondering how you make new sub species

It would compete. I've tried it also tried pans and psil on one. New species Idk? My guess two strains cross in lab environment with spores somehow? Ps cakes suck try myco teck.

I must admit I do not know much about mushroom biology. That said a quick flip through Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms by Paul Stamets suggests that simply throwing two syringes of mushroom in the same jar will not allow you to selectively breed new strains.

The mating of compatible hyphae is genetically determined. Most of the gourmet species are governed by two incompatibility factors (A and B). As a result only subsets of spores are able to combine with one another. When spores germinate, several strains are produced. Incompatible strains grow away from each other, establishing their own territorial domains. In this sense, spores from one mushroom can actually compete with one another for the same ecological niche.

The Let's Grow Mushrooms dvd has a chapter on isolating strains. That would probably be the best jumping off point. I'll do some reading and try to get some more concrete information on the topic. I'm somewhat curious to find the answer myself.

I think I'm going to try this next run. I have some albino A+ liquid culture, along with Equador and Golden Teacher. Maybe I'll do GT and AA+ that way I can tell which strain wins. It would be pretty cool to have regular color GT and albinos growing off one cake.

That link is too technical... Dikayron an stuff, aren't there any videos about it? Suppose not?

Its not complicated its just full of mushrooms lingo. just google the words you dont understand, its pretty standard mushroom terminology

I've never seen any videos on this subject, i tend to walk away from those types of videos any how. I prefer the depth book can get into.

You don't want to inject with 2 different strains into one cake! What happens is the 2 strains "battle" each other for the food, with the stronger strain winning out...but in the process, you're slowing growth, and weakening your myc...
