Once you have established pedigree, you can continue on with BREEDING. You can find out which monokaryons of each strain do what, when mated with other monokaryons of the same strain, and also other monokaryons of other strains.
Specific traits can be breed from one strain into another strain.
The statment that hybrid strains are less then either parent is not important. The object of any GOOD breeding program is to put GOOD TRAITS into GOOD STRAINs that don't already posses the trait, and to be able to maintain the trait.
Some Hybrids might not pass the trait on to there offspring and may only be able to maintain that trait via cloning of the original hybrid Dikaryon.
I think the most important thing is to determine pedigree. It would be nice to know how related each STRAIN is, and we might be able to determine which Strain is the original ancestor of all the strains in circulation. There might be an EVE amongst the strains in circulation. A single strain that can only mate 75% of the time with all the other strains. Then again there might be some strains that have lost all ability to mate with other strains, ie multiple species emerging from a single species. Psilocybe subcubensis, Psilocybe cubensis, Psilocybe ?
