Looking for advice from those with mushroom propagation experience. I have a rainbow yuma (center) that has one orange tentacle on its outter rim (the others are blue & gray). Is it possible to increase the presence of this feature over successive generation?

My hope is that if I make a small frag of the shroom that has this feature, then when it regenerates, it may be more likely to have more orange tentacles around the rim. Apologies for the washed out blues. You can see the orange tentacle in the center-front of the outter rim.

Well I guess I'll just give it a shot, and keep it a secret if it works well. ;)
