Limited Gene Pool- No Diversity???

Some of you might have seen pics of the outdoor grow that I had going and I have a question about it. The patch was made from a single mushroom-clone. I cloned it to agar then to a lc and then to seed and finally to wood chips.
Now the patch Produced a good first flush although not across the entire patch. Actually only about 20% of it produced mushrooms but it did resemble a wild outdoor patch so that isn't my big concern.
Now there are just a few stragglers left and I was hoping to see a second flush come out of it but nothing. I am wondering if since it was cloned and I am assuming that all the mycelium is genetically the same will the patch only fruit when conditions are right for that specific genetic makeup?
I am assuming that this is why it is better to have multi spore inoculations and this is what happens when one over transfers and isolated sectors of mycelium.
Am I the right track here?
Also the mycelium is very vigorous in sections and it has grown over the tops of the wood chips and I can visually see rhizomorphs on the top of the patch. It almost resembles overlay on a casing layer. These areas never fruited.
What do you folk think?
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Practically all variations of mycelium from a given parent will fruit under the same range of conditions, like any other organism. It is very likely something else is hindering another flush, if not time itself.

this isnt a culture from spores, it was a clone. I thought this would limit the variation

I know. I'm saying unless what you cloned from was extremely abnormal, it should fruit under the same conditions as a multi-spore outdoor grow.
