As a botanist who avoid using mutagen I am very indifferent to this. There is still little incentive to use mutagen over planting multiple seeds, especially if you care about keeping your gene strains in check.
The only thing this would change, is making it less of a pain to get radweed seeds to mutate. But if the process damage them too much they will be harder or even impossible to splice for any possible harvest.
Mutagen would make more sense if natural mutations didn't exist or if some mutations could only happen with mutagen.
And even then, in an hypothetical world where mutagen was usefull I would have concerns about making glowing slurry just better mutagen. Because then what is the basic mutagen good for ?
