Fuzzy Mycelium?

First attempt pic. Substrate is timothy hay and cow manure compost. Mixed at about 80/20. My question is, although it is fully colonized, the mycelium doesn't appear to by *SUPER* rhizomorphic. I understand that typically that's where your better product comes from. Anyway, I just want some opinions. How to produce more rhizo'ed mycelium. And I do know it is very strain dependant, but I also know that you can make it more so. Eh. Any opinions would be great. Thanks.
PS The timothy hay, I pain stakingly went through and picked out most of the grassy parts. So, it's mainly straw. I don't have a car to go get a bale of hay, so, I make due.

how is your humidity? usually when mine doesn't show vigorous growth is because of the lack of moisture in the substrate or lack of humidity.

It looks good to me. Not all myc is rhizomorphic and I have had many grows that are both and some that no rhizos were visible. One of my Oakridge containers has thich fuzzy my just like that, are you gonna case it with something? It looks good so just case and wait or just wait. You are lucky that the timothy shit worked...usually has a shitload of contamns and pateurizing never worked with it for me. Good work!

Humidity was around 90-95% when incubating and covered with plastic wrap. Now, I did a LIGHT late casing, and am fruiting it. The RH is around 70-85 % throughout the day. Usually dropping when I FAE. Temp for incubating was around 78 give or take a couple degrees. Now for fruiting, it's around 76...
