Why do some species spawn faster then others?

I have Hawaiian spawning inside 1/2 pint jars and nepal/chitwin in the others. The Hawaiian is 2 weeks ahead of the nepal/chitwin, but the Hawaiin wont spawn and the nepal is almost done. It spawned 3 time as fast.

Because,when you using Pf type of jars you have no control over it.Unlike, when someone uses ager they can pick the faster growing mycelium.

They're not in the same jars, I don't think.
It's just growth characteristics of different strains...I don't think anything more than evolution could explain it.

where the advantage comes in, is CHOICE. when isolating strains, you can isolate several, do test grows, and retain the one that works the best. you can then achieve consistent results when working with the same isolate. you can, technically isolate a strain that doesn't even produce mushrooms if you're unlucky or totally ignore the fact that you're looking to isolate the most rhizomorphic growth 
spores don't give you a choice, and your results are much more random in nature.
a procedure that you describe might not even result in a true isolate anyway. you typically have to transfer bits of mycelium to new plates a couple times in succession until you've truly narrowed it down to a single strain (when it no longer splits up, or sectors, into separate growth patterns on a given plate, you know you've got it truly isolated.) if you were to squirt spores on agar, and transfer any given piece of mycelium directly to a liquid culture, you don't know for sure you've actually isolated anything yet. decreased the number of strains, perhaps (and even that seems to have some benefit - less energy is wasted through the grow in combining into a single unified organism with fewer strains in the pot)... but you'll want to do a few transfers to actually isolate a strain.

There defiantly ARE strains with a more aggressive mycelium then others. Brazil is considered the fastest strain of them all (also in my own experience). It builds very rezomorphic mycelium that seems to be very resistant to molds etc.
I could imagine that a strain that has it's origin origin in the tropical area of the world (Brazil, Ecuador...), grows faster and stronger then, for example, a Nepalese strain, because bacteria and other stuff grows faster in tropical climate as well. Means the mycelium has to be even faster and more powerful then other molds and stuff.
I don't know if that's the reason but it would be plausible.
