Quick question concerning where nutrients come from...

Hey when a mushroom fruits from the mycelial cake does it get its nutrients from material already stored in the mycelium (in a sense sapping the mycelium) or does it use the mycelium like a straw and suck it out of the cake itself

Thats kinda like asking if you get your strength from your food or your muscles.. Both are correct. The mycelium will grow throughout its substrate, and upon running low on nutrients available to digest, it starts to fruit.
Technically the mushrooms form after the nutrients have been sapped from the cake, the mycelium is strong and fed, and fruits.

No worries, good question. The mushroom is the pyramid and the mycellium is the slaves.

Slaves kick ass, why do you think I had kids? Probably the same way an immature plant will mature after it is picked... Makes sense to me

I don't recommend having kids if you want slaves though, they are the worst slaves EVER!
