Breeding Mushrooms?

This post is 1 of a collection of ideas I've come up with from all the different documents I've read. I'm hoping to get some replies from people who know or think they know or have suggestions on my ideas, or people that might be interested in trying it (which I don't really suggest, tests cost money and time, and these ideas are products of my mind, and may or may not work, and with every hypothetical experiment, the results are unpredictable). I will give my guesses and expectations, and once my current crop is ready to harvest I will gather some spore prints and test my ideas and report. My crop is estimated for harvest between Nov. 1 to Nov. 15, and I'll start A.S.A.P.

1. My first and personally most favorite idea (I've only posted one idea to make a shorter post & to have time to gather more research) is breeding mushrooms, but since they are hermaphroditic, and make spores I don't even know if this is possible. What I plan to do is to make spore solution for two different species (I.E. Ecuador & Penis Envy) and mix the solutions in a syringe and inoculate a few cakes, and a few agar dishes. If they fully collonize, I'll continue to grow them and try to get them to flush.
What I think will happen is a few different things. (A) The two fungi spores will breed :grin:

, although I doubt this because spores won't magically fuse together (I don't think anyway) & I'm not doing anything to fuse them;
(B) The myceliums will fight for colonization, and mabey kill each other? or stunt the growth.
(C) The myceliums will grow together; and either mix breeds :grin:

, or grow two different shrooms from one cake. :smirk:

(D) One mycelium will overpower the other.
(E) Other. (I think I had 1 or 2 more ideas for outcomes, but I can't remeber now)

Well thanks for atleast looking at my idea, I hope that some people will reply, and most people will take the poll.
