Anyone ever tried it? Any tips? What kind of mushrooms did you use and were you successful?

I have never heard of being able to graft shrooms. But try it. Likely you will just have two different shrooms on one plug. I'd be interested to know if it can be done as well...

If you slice a shroom on a rock and you dont remove one half it's possible it will fuse back together. So it would be interesting but maybe hard to keep them held together and keep them both happy.

I saw a thread on another site where shut successfully grafted some shrooms. He took 2 different shrooms and cut them up in multiple pieces and then he put them inside one of the plastic kids vending machine eggs. He has some holes in the eggs to allow water flow. He got some of the pieces to bond themselves together and grown into s shroom. He said his success rate was something like 1 out of 10 eggs would get 1 grafted shroom. All by total chance of cut shrooms being next to each other.

I never heard anything more but he had pictures so it certainly can be done.

Also a interesting idea that I just thought of... Getting 4-5 or however many color variations and putting them all together in the blender Tek... Keep all the bits as close as possible to each other and see what ends up growing
