Who do ya think is going to win?
I'm making a time lapse video of the whole bloody battle to come. It will be interesting when the two collide.

the perfect fungi will win but it will leave the mycelium unusable

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Well, the battle is raging and they're not even touching each other. The mushroom mycelium has formed a solid line approaching the contaminant. Note the irregular leading edge of the mycelium on the opposite side of the contam as opposed to the defensive line on the contaminant side. Also note the contaminant has stopped growing and is losing vigor. This is not what I expected to happen at all. Is it chemical warfare? Psychological warfare?
By the way, the mushroom mycelium isn't Cubensis. It's Reishi, a very powerful medicinal.

Maybe they will live in harmony.
Is this and intentional experiment or and accidental contamination?

Accidental. I only wanted a time-lapse movie of a petri dish colonizing, but the darn lid kept fogging up with condensation from the bright lights needed for photography. The cure was to remove the parafilm from the edges of the petri dish. That allowed the contaminant to slip in under the edge. Both the contaminant and the Reshi have started to grow again. After 48 hours of staring each other down, I noticed this morning the green had expanded 1mm toward the reishi. Within two hours, the reshi had jumped 2mm toward the contaminant. I'll post pix when I get back to my other computer where the video captures are being saved. It would appear the battle is about to begin. Two video cameras on tripods are recording every activity in this dish 24/7. I can't wait to see the outcome.

Here's the latest. Note the formerly straight line of mycelium facing the contaminant has started to curve in a way that indicates it might be preparing to encircle the penicillium. Note also the contaminant has grown slightly after several days of apparent dormancy.

for a second there rog, you started sounding like a commentator
...i thought that looked like penicillium-
my guess:
i think the pen is mightier than the sword

The Reishi, after sitting and gathering strength for a few days has begun to grow toward the contaminant again. It appears to be attempting to isolate and circle the enemy.
