Breeding fungicide-resistant mushrooms

[hixidom]

Is it possible to breed mushrooms that can grow in conditions that other fungi can't grow in? For example, say you put a tiny amount of H2O2 in the substrate for a mushroom tek, and then say 1 in 1000 spores is able to produce fruit, and then you take that mushroom's spores and repeat the process in a substrate with a slightly higher amount of H2O2...

Maybe H2O2 is a bad example of a fungicide that this would work for, but in principle it is possible to breed a super-shroom, right? Any ideas about a good fungicide for this?

Or maybe a rapidly spreading mushroom strain is better than any fungicide. How do I give a mushroom cancer? I guess I could expose the spores to UV light for poor-man's genetic mutation experiments.

sounds like alot of work really.

one can do way less work, and get a serious clean grow with other means.

i would offer that anything is possible.
( 10 yrs ago people didnt believe lophs could be pond grown @ high speed)
however, one has to ask the effort involved .

also, id suggest becoming a master grower first,
that would be the fastest route to adjustments.
there are many variables in a shroom grow.
without detailed grow experience, one would be hard pressed to be effective.

^ of course, a master grower has few problems with contams........

there is a way already.
nitrates tend to discourage most fungi.
but cubes dont seem to mind.
( see annies fert agar thread)
people search for secrets that are already in their face.


that said, im the poster girl for the impossible grow.
so dont let me discourage anything.
