great addition! I like the Peru variety I have... Much smoother of an onset, very giggly, and very clear headed the first 3 hours in. Also a very visual strain, IME.

I wonder if the mushies in your area have those characteristics too?

I think one of the questions being asked, though, was if these strains ever combine into a single genetic amalgamation, or at least combine into one colony and serve other valuable roles such as gathering nutrition for the overall colony...And my conclusion was that they don't.  Sorry I wasnt very articulate about that.

I mean, of course there are numerous strains in each jar...You can see that just by looking at the differing types of mycelium in my photo above...But as far as I can tell, they don't combine even though they eventually always appear to become one solid white mass... and most of the bad strains serve only to consume your valuable substrate and do not contribute to the strains that are trying to fruit in a noticable way.  They only rob them of their food.

Sorry if this just ended up restating shit everyone already knows, but I was attempting to draw a conclusion from this experiment that could answer questions about what happens in nature.

Of particular value is the fact that the clones of the parents in all cases grew much larger with the only real variables being the number of genetic strains present to compete for the same amount of food.




But what about multiple strains working together to produce one mushroom? That demonstrates at least some cooperation between the strains. I always thought some work together better than others like people. The more that are present the more complicated the social situation becomes. Maybe they compete except when it come times to shed spores they are in it together? I can definitely see the evolutionary advantage to more than one strain combining to release a greater variety of genetic material in the spores. So maybe in terms of consuming nutrients and moisture it is a free for all, but the ones who are around when it is shroom-time drop the competition game and just focus on working together to get as many spores of as many genetic types as possible. Think about it one round of competition to weed out the weak but there is no advantage to withholding colonized mycelium energy when it's only desire is to fruit.
Maybe they form alliances and compete against other alliances?

Different strains work together and make fruiting bodies they don't compete.  Even when non compatible they're not fighting each other off

Fighting each other off and competing can be a different thing. The one may be better at speedy colonization that the other, and that could technically be viewed as competition, though friendly.
