Mycelial war and genetic enhancement?

I've noticed that when I clear away or kill an area with contamination, the mycelium runs rampant over the area soon after, seemingly in an attempt to assure its territorial survival. Would it be possible, at whatever difficulty, to Persuade stronger colonization and rhizome development by introducing controlled contams? And theoretically, would it be possible to grow a strain that is resistant to many common contaminants?
((And on another note. Wouldn't it be interesting to have mycelial overgrow matches in which the champions would become breeding material? Maybe I'm just a pot-head, but I'd place bets on some of the strains I've seen.))
-------------------- My favorites are weeping willows, which aren't really weeping at all. They're very wispy, witty and will dance in the breeze with you. Nothing like a tree that wants to dance with you. Although it doesn't like its thin limbs being pulled at all, it absolutely LOVES it when you walk through them, letting them gently slide over your face and shoulders. If you're naked, the willow considers it to be sex. It will orgasm on your mind and you will blow dream chunks into outer space. All very fun until your neighbor sees you. -The Joekenorer

Thanks for all your helpful info, igloo. Go make your impolite, n00b ass 31st post somewhere else.

I've never noticed what you're referring to. It sounds more like the contaminant mycelium recovering the spot. It's best to discard contaminated projects, rather than trying to cut out the green, which is only the spores on the surface. The contaminant mycelium goes far deeper and wider than the green you see. RR

It sounds good in theory, but I've never heard of it being tried. That said, I would isolate the stronger myc growth and grow that out clean before introducing your controlled contams. Good luck and post if it works!
