Mushroom mycelium in my jars? Or something else? (GOOD macro pics)

Okay, I'm probably worrying about nothing here, but these are the first jars I ever knocked up from a spore syringe that I made myself from a print I took myself.

Is this mushroom mycelium or something else? 2 reasons make me worry that it might not be mushroom mycelium:
1. It showed up quick and large. It appeared with pretty big spots after 3-4 days, which isn't unheard of I know, but I don't usually have such big spots of mycelium after just 3 or 4 days. Usually I just have a little pinprick of white after 4 days. This was thumbnail size after just 4 days. What you see now is 6 days.
2. It's much fluffier and and less rhizomorphic than all the jars I've knocked up with vendor syringes or traded syringes or even liquid culture that I've made.
Am I being paranoid or is there something funny about it? None of my jars have looked like this before.
And if it is mushroom mycelium could the strange non-rhizo look of it be because I had a tad too many spores in my syringe? (I already know I did.)

From what ive read its a sign of a degenerating "strain".

I personally wouldn't say that Tomentose is less desirable unless you are sectoring or working with strain isolation. I am assuming its a multispore inoculation(my pic is), in which case its hard to actually distinguish between Rhizomorphic and Tomentose as the different productions are growing together. I believe conditions play a roll in this too. Especially nutes and the search there of.

Cool guys, thanks. I won't worry about it then.
I'd just never seen mycelium in my jars look like that before. I was hoping it was just because I overloaded my syringes or something, but I was a little afraid it was trich or something else.
