Can you grow different mushroom species in the same jar?
    #21950389 - 07/16/15 03:42 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I don't mean different strains - I mean completely different species. Do mushroom mycelium have any ability to kill competing mushroom species? Obviously they would both compete for resources, but I'm asking if mushroom species A would eliminate mushroom species B directly, not through indirect means (out competing).

I typically work outside every few days for a neighbor, and he has a lot of mushrooms in his yard. I never directly touch them if possible, but I'm guessing their spores are littered throughout his property, and some inevitably get on my clothing. As irrational as it is to worry about, I can't help but worry that a spore or two from something like a Destroying Angel could potentially get into my jars (which are only just starting to colonize). [not like I couldn't just ID it if that happened, but anyway, I digress]

But besides my irrational fear, I actually am very curious as to the biology of how mushrooms interact with each other. I was unable to find any question/answer to this through Google.

Think you goto nothing to worry about there mate. even if you put two strains of cubes in a tek one will take over

Or, they won't.  They could grow half & half or not fruit at all, on top of plenty of other possibilities, including a new strain entirely.

I am absolutely not an expert or even experienced. But I'm thinking providing there are enough resources and space for the different types of mycelium they should grow harmoniously. However taking into account things like effectiveness of collecting resources, mycelium density and how far and fast each mycelium is comfortable growing you would find one will most likely grow through and overrun a less dense mycelium, over populate or simply out compete it's. But I don't think they calculate assaults on each other. It is most likely that the most fit for the environment will prevail.
So when a contamination appears in a partly colonised jar it is effectively a race for the mycelium to use up all the food before a most likely more effective mold catches up to its head start.

:facepalm: don't give advice when you don't know what you're talking about.

You have 100+ strains in a jar if you grow from spores. We buy varieties not strains. Spores have no clue they have a variety name.  If you grow from spores your mushrooms themselves will be more than one strain. Strains work as a single organism and transfer water throughout the whole substrate.

I'm pretty sure he's asking about 2 species, not strains in the same species. Unfortunately it's way too vague to tell you. Some species depend on others to germinate and grow over them, whereas others can live in harmony side by side.

Generally speaking though, cubensis will take over other species if it has the upper hand. However unless you opened the jars in open air or waved your arms around over open jars, you got nothing to worry about.

not sure if its workman or maybe kizzle but in contam forum you can see cubes and pans in the same tray, think it was 2 diff spawn jars mixed together tho.

When two different species are present in the same substrate. Generally the more dominant species will win out and you will see only it's fruits. I've put pans and cubs together and only the cubes showed up in the end. Whe oysters and cubes were mixed. I wound up with only oysters. If a tub is spawned with two species and they are kept to oposit sides of the tub you will likely see both species of fruits since they each have a chance to colonise there own area of the tub before one species can take out the other.

the post I found showed pans or cubes coming in first, and then the other species came in later flushes.
cant remember which way it was or who wrote it :facepalm:

but as you said, I dont think anything will do well with oysters or reishi they'll just be dinner..

I'd be interested to see myc wars between reishi and oysters. Reishi is stronger and colonises pretty fast but oysters colonise quite quickly and fruit much faster. Maybe I'll try it out when I have more time.

#5 Psilocybe cubensis (Cubes)

Psilocybe cubensis can contaminate Panaeolus cyanescens (and allies) cultivations and more rarely other species.  The reasons are the same as with oyster contamination (see #3 above) with the additional factor of spores intentionally or mistakenly mislabeled (both species have dark spores so the spore prints are visually similar)

Interestingly, trays of fully colonized Panaeolus can produce a normal flush of Panaeolus mushrooms before becoming overwhelmed by Cubensis mycelium and fruiting cubensis for the 2nd and following flushes.  This generally happens when both species are grown in close proximity and the grow area is loaded with free cubensis spores.  It appears that the Panaeolus colonized substrate is selective for cubensis colonization.  This hints at the possibility of sequential use of manure based substrates. 

 

Although Cubensis contamination is common, pictures are almost always of one species or the other.  Currently I am only able to find one good Shroomery posted picture showing both species growing in the same container.  The two pictures on the right are from the thehawkseye and mycotopia.  If I find more Shroomery posted pictures I will replace the the offsite ones.

That is a more dominant species germinating and taking hold of a substrate already colonised by a less dominant species. The pans still fruit because they were already established but they aren't strong enough to keep the cubs from germinating and taking over a portion of the substrate.

:whathesaid: I think it's hella cool though that cubes germinated on established pans, and took it over in subsequent flushes

yeah, that was the post I thought of but I must have remembered it differently
or just focused too much on this thing;
" It appears that the Panaeolus colonized substrate is selective for cubensis colonization.  This hints at the possibility of sequential use of manure based substrates.  "

>opened the jars in open air
I actually did do this for a few jars. You see, my whole brown rice jars were extremely slow to germinate; so slow I thought the spores were defective. So I lifted my aluminum foil lids off slightly (in hindsight I should have definitely gotten tyvek or something similar to that) and within a few days I had germination.

With a few of the jars, I completely lifted the lids off. But with 5 or so other ones, I took the lid off and replaced it with a coffee filter right away. Guess I'll just have to see.

Are you sure it was germination of your cube spores and not some mold that got in when you opened them.

Would be really interesting to take a quart of colonized grain of cubes and some other species and then mix those two grains together thoroughly then case those all mixed up grains to see what would happen???  I would think that if each species had colonized a quart of grain thoroughly, the ability for one species to "defeat" the other would be eliminated but I have no idea.
