Fruiting room question

Hello
I would like to convert an old glovebox to a fruiting room and was wondering about air exchange and humidity. Here is the glovebox :

My plan was to spawn grain to hpoo directly in the bottom of the chamber, then fruiting once fully colonized.
I would cover both holes with foil paper during hpoo colonization with some fork holes.
Once fully colonized, I would replace foil paper with tyvek to allow more gas exchange and use an humidifier running on a timer (in picture) to provide enough humidity. Humidifier would be connected using a 1.5" hose to the chamber.
I was wondering if this is sound at all ? Would it provide enough air exchange for fruiting ? Would the air exchange be low enough for hpoo colonization ? Would the humidifier work good with this kind of setup ?
Note that their is little spaces next to handles that may prevent humidifier back pressure. Also, I would not mind to do some manual venting but would prefer setup to be autonomous. Temperature and light should not be a problem.
Any tips will be appreciated ! Thanks

Tyvek is used on jars as GE filter specifically because it blocks too much air for FAE.
You want lots of FAE for fruiting, not GE.
Also the humidifier is best left for greenhouses, and will only over saturate your substrate.
Build a proper set and forget monotub and forget everything else.
The holes in that SAB are way too big.
