Perlite is for releasing water for humidity. It's good on the bottom of a fruiting chamber when it is moistened a little. Vermiculite is for absorbing water. You should roll the cake in vermiculite.

Watch all four Let's Grow Mushroom videos on youtube and then come back. Or better, use the search function in the top right corner. Yes you need both.

if youre doing the cake method you need both. well you dont NEED perlite, but it makes things easier.
vermiculite= substrate and casing ingredient
perlite= humidity production in chamber.

I think he spent too much money on them. Though they are good, they are expensive because of relatively unnecessary and overrated production costs and effects. I think this is the main reason he had to drop so much $ into the video and complains about it not being sold enough. It's a great video though and probibly can get you started on understanding the process well. The PF videos are good as well.

I don't think I would have started using agar if I didn't have my RR DVD.

i would order it, but i really dont have a need for it. i had a pretty good understanding of everything before he made the videos. 
ive read several of stamets books and not to mention the countless hours spent on here researching.
