Why are you trying to find an alternative? Perlite is useful in sgfc and that's about it.
You could use a different method instead of using a inferior replacement

I just hate the environmental impact perlite has.
 It seems to contradict the ecological-philosophical aspect of the mushroom.

ā Additional Tips for Using Perlite in Your Grow Medium
Though it is not a synthetic material, perlite can have a detrimental effect on the local ecological environment because it is strip mined. So, when buying perlite, it is worth researching the various firms that mine it and learn how they implement the maintenance of soil composition and ecology, and what steps they take to restore the environment. When done properly, there is no need to leave the landscape damaged after the mining process is finished.ā
