You can't substitute 1 in place of the other, Pretty sure.

Perlite is for humidity purposes , vermiculite is not.

Vermiculite holds the water and nutrients that your mycelium needs to grow and fruit. That's why we use vermiculite in the cake.

Perlite releases water. That's why we use perlite in the fruiting chamber. We soak the perlite, then the perlite releases the water as humidity in the fruiting chamber.

Vermiculite and perlite are made by using high temperatures to expand minerals. Vermiculite is made from a clay mineral. Perlite is made from a volcanic rock mineral. They are similar, but different. We exploit the differences for our purposes.
