hi,
i have pink oyster, reishi, brown button mushroom, lion's mane and king osyer spawns that i store in a box. i am just worried that the mushrooms might cross contaminate each other. for example, is it possible that the pink oyster mushroom spawn can contaminate the king oyster spawn if i keep them in one box as shown below.

brown button mushroom (left), lions mane (center), reishi (right)

king oyster (left), pink oyster (right)

umm. You're colonizing in those?
Yes, you can colonize different strains in the same place.
Also, you can fruit them in the same space as well.
The way mushrooms reproduce is through 2 spores germinating. You have no spores present.

yes i'm colonizing them, i'm just afraid that if i place them in one box, one mushroom specie might colonize the other one and vice versa.

Don't worry. It's not going to happen.
I've grown different strains in the same GreenHouse. No problems.

i'm quite concerned about the proximity of my containers as they are very very close to each other.
for now, i have no choice since space is rather limited.

The less you mess with them the better off you're going to be.
