Can a jar have NO rhizomorphic growth?? Or do I have mold?

OK so I got some spore syringes from a non sponsor, could have sworn it was the site I used 10 years ago. Anyways In have some jars, that were inoculated in 4 points. 12, 3, 6, and 9 O'clock. They got shook at about 40% colonized. They seemed to rebound fairly fast and colonize evenly. Issue is there is NO rhizo growth. I have never seen this, I am still kind of noob. So I cant tell if I got a form of a white mold, only encountered ones that changed color, like green and bluish years ago, or mycelium. Now this is my first try growing again in about 10 years. I took some pics but I can't get great lighting. seems to me the pics make it look even whiter. Maybe its me being scared I grew some jars of mold, maybe its suffocating, maybe its fine. Pics are all of the same jar as I didn't want to risk opening them all and the ones of concern look the same. Others I can easily see rhizo growth. I do have some that's similar BUT, they have rhizo growth and the "fuzzy", presumably tomentose mycelium, is thicker, more dense.
Something I should mention. I never used to shake my jars. So I saw a lot of Rhizo growth. These are the 1st jars I have ever shaken. Will the mycelium grow more tomentose when shaken vs not shaken.
Can suffocating mycelium be thin and wispy like cobweb mold? I ask as 2 of them are rather thin but look like this, just thinner.
Sorry I have just put a lot of work into these, like you guys do yours, and I am really nervous I messed up along the way. I could be other thinking this whole thing LOL
***EDIT***Pics of 4 other jars in a post down below

I sometimes find this when I mix up certain recipes for the bottle tek. If its too nutrient rich it can fluff up like this and still be ok.
What are you using as a sub and how does it smell?

Smells like mushrooms. I uses WHOLE brown rice mixed into verm at a 2:2 rice to verm ratio. That's it.

looks good to me, rhizo or tomentose doesnt matter. next time use a 3:3 ratio, kicks 2:2's ass!

Could lack of gas exchange cause a couple jars to be thiner? I couldn't really find a good answer on what lack of gas exchange would do when I searched.

what ya mean cause jars to be thinner? lack of GE hinders growth, the myc is choking and grows real slow.

Different genetics produce different mycellium behavior, that and the different food you are feeding it, amount of GE, temperature and a whole lot of other factors. Different species have all sorts of variations.
Its the old adage 'As long as its clean.....ect ect ect'

OK so I cleaned and Lysol bombed a small area to take some pics. I used a lamp with a reflector and got the best pics I could of 4 separate jars. I never had mycelium like this when I grew about 10 years ago. I also had a different strain. I am just concerned that these do not look right to me, from my experiences. Just looks kind of thin and wispy.

They are just pint cakes. If they are ok they going to get dunked and rolled in next couple days for better ones, and others in a week or so. If that is healthy mycelium, I assume one or two need a little more time as you can see some of the rice. Then they going in the SGFC. These just never looked like cakes I had grown years ago. the mycelium kind of looked to "loose" and "fuzzy" to me like mold. So I got worried that I had screwed up and a few weeks wasted only learning lessons again.

Cool, go for it. you dont have to put them all in at the same time, just when they are ready.

Think a 64qt SGFC will hold 15 eventually. 3 x 5 pattern, maybe offset the middle row from the outside 2. I should have 15 jars total in a week or 2. Then there is the 24 I just knocked up the other day lol. going to need a 2nd SGFC soon.
