IE the true albino teacher family. Tat multispore is tat multispore, however clones(good refined once not single plate clones) like Jack Frost, ghost, yeti ect.

Jack Frost, Ghost, Yeti are not clones! (or did you just run out of gas because it's late, and not finish that last paragraph? a lot of the rest of that post made sense.)

There can be clones of Jack Frost, Ghost, Yeti, etc, but those are varieties (commonly mis-described, even by vendors, as "strains")

Anything that can be grown from spores is not a clone. It's a MS (multi-spore grow)

When you put spores to agar you produce millions of strains, one new one every time spores combine. Each combo can have slightly different genetics, just like with humans and their children. 

A variety is the result of finding a pheho you like and selecting about 8 generations to increase the chance of having a semi-stable variety from spores of that down the line.

A clone would be a single shroom cloned to make a line that is very similar from shroom to shroom and box to box.

One thing though is that even a clone will produce some genetic diversity, it's that old "life finds a way" thing. A clone is probably several "strains" but not nearly as many as a MS grow.

But with time it wants to make new forms. Which is how you get an albino here and there or a really tall one or really fat one or really strong one from a MS grow or even from a clone grow.

And back to "life finds a way", here's the thread where Verum did 80 sequential transfers of trying to isolate "sectors" and it kept sectoring.

Pic VAT: a clone tub (16 quart) I grew that still had some variety from one shroom to another.

I've found that pseudo-casing the squat mac prior to hyphal knotting results in clusters of mushrooms instead of a bunch of individuals.
