Mixing different strains ?

Never tried this before , I've always just used one strain mostly "b+" on every jar. But when creating a monotub, can I incolinate the jars with different strains such as (b+,golden teacher, and creeper),and crumble all the jars and put them into the mono , would I be fine ? Or all those different types will not work ? Just never really thought about it , and got some syringes coming in so I was wondering.

I think you will get fruits.
But It would be the same as MS inoculation where all the different mycelium is competing for the substrate. I would put them all on agar for a number of reasons.
A) removing possible contams. B)choosing the best mycelium strains. C) isolating the mycelium to get better yeilds/ healtier fruits.
I have never tried this so I am definitely not 100% sure. But I would think that just as the same variety of cubes can coexist so can different varieties. Cube is a cube is a cube applies to this I'd imagine

I got about 3 syringes coming and only 4 jars , I don't want to just waste 2 syringes . only thing is I'm not familiar with agar or anything if that nature. I'm just use to using syringes

Yea just remember that excessive spores in ur substrate will yeild excessive amounts of different mycelium. So take it easy on the inoculant

You can always learn. Agar is the dirst thing I tried and its not as difficult as one would think.
Besides would you prefer a contam in jars showing up a month into colonisation. Or a few days in agar? That jar would be on a one way trip to the bin. Also you dont have to isolate on the first try if you find it overwhelming ( which you wont).
Its just mycelium growing on a 2d surface instead of a 3d one. Then all you have to do is cut a small piece and drop it in your grains. Just as easy as syringe but much less risky.
Also if you isolate and find a killer strain you can make an lc or a slant dor long time use
