Ive heard of one incident wer a guy was saying he had cubes growing directly from his lava rocks because of mycelium coverin some rocks from his cakes, can this/or has this ever happened with perlite wer mushrooms have fruited directly from the perlite?

Yes, it has happened, it can happen, but it is not good for the cakes, and will hinder overall performance.

Yep not uncommon, they will grow off of anything like plastic if they have the mycelial network to feed and support their growth. As hacker stated though it's just wasted energy to have the cakes sitting directly on the perlite.

So let me get somthing straight, they dont fruit becuz of any nutrients present in the perlite (since it has none?) but rather because of the mycelial "network" which has woven itself together on top of the perlite ?

Yes, the mycelium delivers the nutrients from the actual substrate to whatever it happens to be fruiting off of.

Yes.
I have also seen where a grain or 2 in a monotub up on the wall, not connected to the substrate, produce fruits.
Now that is crazy.
