Question about mycelium strains/types

Do rhizomorphic and cottony mycelium represent two divergent strains or merely healthy vs unhelathy mycelium but within the same strain ?

Neither.
Mycellium of the same strain will often go from rhizomorphic to cottony and back.
It has a lot to do with the substrates nutrient content.

can all cottony myc turn to rhizomorphic myc? or is that why people suggest isolating rhizomorphic sectors.

Yes, cottony mycellium can go rhizomorphic....depending on the substrate.
You can see this easily on agar.
Use dishes mixed with high nutrient value.....then transfer a cottony sector to a less nutritious dish and it will go rhizomorphic.
Same goes for the other way around as well.
When a substrate is low in nutrients, the mycellium stretches out in search of more food.
When the substrate is high in nutrients, the mycellium takes it's time....

sounds good. one more question.
if i have a monotub with both rhizomorphic and cottony myc does this mean the part that is rhizomorphic could possibly be contaminated? and the myc is in its rhizomorphic form because the contam is using the nutrients around it?

Also is 5 g of malt extract and 5 g of agar (with 250 ml water) a good combo or too "nutritious"? Because wat uve said has got me thinking that the nutrient (in this case the malt extract) should always be a little less than the agar ?
