Chlorine smell from poormans pod

I put together my poorman's pod last night and let it run overnight just to break the air stones in and calibrate the fish tank heater. It has openings for fresh air exchange and I lifted the lid off this morning and the thing absolutely reeks of chlorine! I washed the air stones and geolite before I put them in.
The water around here is fairly chlorinated so I was wondering if that could be detrimental to my mushrooms. I've heard that letting tap water sit out in the open allows the chlorine to diffuse off, but I still wanted to consult you guys. What do you think I should do? To be safe of course...

Use a product called chlorout. It doesn't cost very much and one little bottle will treat hundreds of gallons. I bet it'd cost around a penny a gallon if you figured it out. Look for it in fish stores or walmart.
