if you have bought this greenhouse it does not have a bottom to it. I cut 4 mil thick plastic and taped it around all the way except between the 2 zippers. This provides perfect air exchange in and out.

i really do not understand your logic, but i of course believe you. from my understanding, you're enclosing the bottom using plastic creating an enclosed chamber. then you are pumping humidity and fresh O2 into the chamber. wonderful, but don't you need something sucking the CO2 out of the chamber, as well? sry im being repetitive

Ok. Hmmm..... the bottom is not totally enclosed, it is on 3 sides but on the zipper side it is not enclosed. The plastic still comes upa couple inches but I did not tape anything there so air can move freely. Air being pumped into the system forces other air to be pushed out. CO2 sinks compared to O2.

You may want to consider insulation too.
With less heat loss you can use a smaller heater.
http://www.earthadvantage.com/homes/pop/insulation/pix/in_rigid.jpg
Or just find an old fridge and use it,you have a door,it's well insulated,it has a nice seal to keep out bugs,you can install a lock,you have shelves and if you have a working one you can use it to cold shock to stimulate fruiting.
A 100 watt light bulb is the same as a 100 watt heater as far as mushrooms are concerned and they need the light to develop properly.
Use a timer going to a lamp,I'd change the bulb to 100 move the socket further into the fridge and bypass the door switch then just plug the fridge into the light timer with the compressor bypassed...but I'm a handy dude and know electricity,I recommend caution or an electrician friend.
A submersible heater in a large jar in the fridge can provide heat when the light is off.(the light has to cycle)
You can probably pick up a used fridge pretty cheap especially if it isn't working at all,and it won't draw as much attention as a clear plastic covered shelving unit full of mushrooms.
you can install a computer case fan in a hole in the side of the fridge (carefull cutting, wiring or coils may be in there!)for air circulation if it gets too hot (wire to thermostat)or you want to get rid of CO2
put it low(CO2 sinks)with a flapper valve(rubber or thick plastic curtain)on the outside to prevent bugs getting in and keep wind out.
Geeze where can I get a fridge?
I think I may build one and stick it in the garage

WooHoo!Shroomed again!
It wouldn't be that hard to do,really
If you don't want to screw with the electric just run two extension cords thru the side of the fridge for your power needs.
One for the heater and one for the light(lamp)with a timer on the end of it.You could do it with one cord but I wouldn't put the timer I have inside a high humidity grow chamber.
Sometimes I overthink stuff.
