oh you mean so it sucks the air through the martha instead of blowing the air through. Alright ya thats a pretty good idea. Keeps it from getting gusty through the set up. What do you think, something like this should work right?

I think that would work EXCELLENT. That's my opinion though. Nobody else seems to want to chime in. 
But yes, because of backpressure and how negative pressure works, pulling air is ALWAYS better for the fans then pushing it. Look at computer cases. Some have just the fans that blow air out the back, and some that blow air out the back AND push it in (which is called positive pressure). Either way, there is never a case that blows air INTO into without a fan to blow out.
With that said, keep in mind that you don't want to bring TOO MUCH air in at once. This will cause increased transpiration of your casings, causing them to dry out VERY quickly, despite the amount of humidity in the martha.
With my setup, I run 1 fan (about 35 cfm) for 6 minutes every 4 hours in my tub. Now my casings are drying out. And I watch my humidity drop down to 75 percent (from 95+)in a matter of those 6 minutes.
You are going to have the same problem, but on a larger scale if you get fans with too much ooooomph. You want to SLOWLY draw the air through without bringing humidity down.

Well true it does settle at the bottom. But we are talking about an entire air flush exchange in the matter of 5-15 minutes. I seriously don't think the shroomies will mind a tad bit higher of PPM co2 flying by them.

I really don't understand either one of those diagrams, but from what it looks like, you are venting in the coolmist at the top below the fans. NO.
You vent the humidifier through the bottom of the chamber so that the fans can suck the humidity up. But ACTUALLY, if you want to do it correctly. There should be about three outlets into the chamber for the humidity. One high, one medium, and one tall.
But then again, you are also forgetting about the complete air exchange in a short period of time. NO HUMIDIFIER is going to be able to keep up with that, no matter where it is vented in, top, or bottom.
