Thickness of mycelium

I am using PF cakes, and the mycelium seems thin. I would expect it to be thicker. It seems like it is weaved into substrate, not even on top. Normal for 3 days? I was wondering if the thickness related to temperatures, humidity, or anything else that I should be aware of, or need to fix.

It sounds like the moister content is off, maybe a little dry what's the temp?

Yes it does. 3 days is pretty damn quick for spores to germinate and see any type of substantial growth. You are most like just fine bro.

its about 80 degrees, after 1 day I saw no results at 70 degrees so I kicked up the furnace. Should I use some perlite on the bottem of my tank? There's nothing to raise the humidity.

You are incubating right? If so no need to raise the RH.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding the terms, but fruiting would be that the cakes are already colonized, and that I have put them in a container to grow... no. But the term incubating, as in the setups I've seen, no. They are just in a drawer

Give it some time. Three days is nothing. I sit my PF Jars in a drawer (I can't be bothered to make a heated chamber) and it fully colonizes in about two/three weeks. At first the mycelium is thin and strand like but it usually thickens out.
