Learning about tomentose...?

Coming across all my research and reading, I came across tomentose mycelium, which I'm sure is the type I have in my jars and what I spawned a couple days ago, and maybe that's why it's not performing as I thought it should. The mycelium is just white and thick fluffy, compared to what I know rhizomorphic is. Does tomentose mycelium perform, colonize, and fruit? Is the purpose of also doing agar to attain rhizomorphic growth and transfer it out from tomentose mycelium so you can already inoculate with rhizomorphic agar? Or are they both the same in performance and doesn't really matter? I've had some trouble with my jars and then spawning currently, don't know how things are going to turn out. Looking and researching, and just came across tomentose now... Does tomentose mycelium not colonize as well and perform as well?

I actually try to go for the whispy growth most of the time. Rhizo is over rated.

Really it depends, it can fruit just fine so you know. Unless its pan cyanescens you are growing then ive read you want wispy growth. Sometimes it can happen due to lack of air, using multispore because the spores germination basically "stacks" on each other rhizo tends to happen after a few transfers usually. From what ive read theres a few variables when it comes to tomentose, but cubes will still fruit. Sometimes people transfer tomentose to a different agar or when it goes in jars rhizo will form all depends, long as its clean you should be good

I'm with Gizmo on this. I've not seen that it matters. Just looks better.

You’ll get rhino a lot when it starts fruiting. Nothing wrong with what you see

I've noticed that mycelium will morph to adapt to its environment. Such occurences have been observed When changing from one batch of petris to another, or transfering from petris to grain. They'll flip flop from tomentose to rhizomorphic, or vise versa.
IME, all types perform the same.

This is an interesting subject. I’d like to hear what the TC’s have to say. Maybe we should do a tomentose grow along and see some side by side comparisons?
We are taught to go for the best looking rizoh growth and perfect circle mono cultures etc.. but I’ve been curious my self to see if it really makes a difference.
