שתי נשים. אפילו הן ממין אחד פטורים. ואין נשיכה וצירוף סל מצרפן, כיון שמקפידות. ואפילו לשו שני קבין כאחד, כיון דסופן ליחלק פטורות. וסתם מתניתין כבית הלל דאמרי קביים לחלה, ואינה הלכה, דקיימא לן דחמשה רבעים הוא שיעור חלה:
ובזמן שהן של אשה אחת. סתם אשה אחת אינה מקפדת אם העיסות נוגעות זו בזו:
מין במינו חייב. בנשיכה או בצרוף סל:

Mishnayos Challah Perek 4 Mishnah 2
חלה פרק ד׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
החטים אינן מצטרפות עם הכל – if there were two doughs: one of wheat and one of another species of the five species, and there in neither of them had the [sufficient] measure for Hallah, and they adhere to each other.
השעורים מצטרפות עם הכל – even with spelt, and even though this is part of the species of wheat, it is not specifically the species of wheat, but rather the species of barley, and even the species of wheat, and it is explained at the beginning of the first chapter (Mishnah 1 and see the Bartenura there).
שאר המינים מצטרפין זה עם זה – such as spelt, oats and rye. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri.
החטים אינן מצטרפות עם הכל. אם היו שתי עיסות אחת של חטים ואחת של מין אחר מחמשת המינים, ואין באחת מהן שיעור חלה ונושכות זו בזו:
השעורים מצטרפות עם הכל. אף עם הכוסמין, ואע״ג דמין חטים הן, לאו דוקא מין חטים אלא מין שעורים ואף מין חטים, והכי פרישנא לה בריש פרק קמא:
שאר המינים מצטרפין זה עם זה. כגון כוסמין ושבולת שועל ושיפון. והלכה כר׳ יוחנן בן נורי:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

שתי נשים אפילו הן ממין אחד פטורים – and neither the adhering nor the fusion (i.e., thing contained in one vessel are to be considered as one mass) in a basket does not combine them, since they are strict [in this area]. And even if they kneaded the two Kabs as one, since they are destined to be divided, they are exempt. And the anonymous Mishnah is according to the School of Hillel who say that [we require] two Kabs for Hallah (see Mishnah Eduyot, Chapter 1, Mishnah 2), but it is not the Halakha, for we establish that five-quarters [of dough] is the [minimum] measure for Hallah.
