correct me if Im wrong but perlite is used to retain moisture inside the chamber... making it easier to maintain a high humidity...
say I have no problem retaining a high humidity in my tank is perlite still needed?
my chamber at this point retains a humidity of 95% on its own...... i hjave more trouble lowering it then maintaining it...
please let me know exactly what the benefits of perlite are and if it is a must
thanks all!!

well, what are you doing to keep the humidity high then?
there are other methods to humidify, perlite is just one of them.

using water/peroxide mix in jar with air pump and air stone... it keeps humidity steady at 95% and is easy to control, my chamber seals well so humidity is not a problem....

If your humidity is 95% + your fine.
You can mist the sides of the fruiting chamber if the humidity goes down a little.... to increase the humidity.
