That's just stating the obvious, although you should have said some clones can outperform some isolates.
A clone from a crappy flush will produce crappy offspring, but they're still going to be better than a non-fruiting isolate.
Not every isolate will fruit or fruit well. However, the stellar isolates will far outperform anything else. The idea is to isolate strains on agar an fruit them all in a controlled strain test. Some won't produce anything. Some will produce a little and some will blow your mind with wall to wall flushes. You save these isolates on master culture slants and grow them the rest of your lives. Some of my very best shiitake strains are over 30 years old.

Nor will there likely to be any more mushrooms. If a fruit has multiple strains active, removing one might just ruin the whole thing since they're working in concert. RR

Bad info. It's extremely common for more than one strain to be active in a fruitbody. RR
