Sounds like the stuff with plant feed in it. Rinse it well to get all the crap out of it.
It will work fine, though that type of perlite tends to grow algae

in the process of dunking 9 cakes right now. one is only half opened it and the top was full of trich. cut it down to at least half and was still some in the middle. i got most of the plant matter out of the perlite just kept straining till only water ran out. my crappy hygrometer only goes up to 95% than reads high hasn't came off hi yet but the sides of terrarium are not showing condensation or getting cloudy. i put peroxide on the perlite in bottom of terrarium we will have to see where it goes i have plenty of cakes still maturing.

Good choice on chucking that cake. Bury it outside on a compost heap.
Digital hygrometers are crap as you see with yours. Mine is apperently suppossed to work upto 99% but even wrapping it in a damp towel for half a day only ever reads 96%.
Condensation isnt an indication of humidity. Condensation happens when the outside is colder than the inside allowing moisture to condense out of the air on the cold walls of your fruiting chamber. Which can rob you of humidity.
