How to tell what strain your shrooms are?

I started my first grow by putting gills from dried shrooms on agar plates and I just inoculated them into some jars. Is there any way to tell what strain they are once they start fruiting? I know that they aren't penis envy and that they aren't albino, and that's about it...

Put pictures in the mushroom identification forum... I would say

I know they're cubes, but that's the species, not the strain.

The term strain is overused. There's practicality no difference

in general, there is no real way to tell unless it has some remarkable qualities.

Unless they are one of the odd varieties like PE, APE , A+ albino etc you will just know its cubensis. Theyre all the same species, same growing parameters they mostly just differ cosmetically really.
Since youre working with agar you should be able to get some awesome clones or isolate really good strains out of any cube!

Isn't there a thread for strain discussion?

Yeah but I feel like my question is kinda specific and that the thread is more general.

You need a microscope to see strains. You're asking about varieties. Spores have no clue that a human gave some other spores a different name. You have 100-1000s of strains in a single grow if you started from spores. And even the best cube grower would have as good of a chance as winning a lottery trying to identify the variety by visual inspection. Ask 10 of us get 10 different answers

A cube is a cube +1

Thanks. I live in Cali so I cant legally order spores here and agar plates seemed to be fairly simple and generally a better option.

Great way to get some killer dealer shrooms... I did this anytime I found some that wear extremely potent Honestly I don't know why more people don't do this
