Basement Room Grow

Basically today I found a trap door which leads into a basement. By basement I mean it has a cobble brick floor, with standard mason blocks for walls. Everything is exposed, the support beams, the rafters, everything. If I clean it out would I be able to grow mushrooms down there? It's a decent sized area, no air flows through it though. Also it is very dirty and filled with cob webs. It does have lights, I could probably hook some florescent bulbs up in there.

If you have the money after cleaning it reeeaaal good you should at least tack plastic up around the walls and ceiling that will help keep dust down. Keep the trap door open and blow air into it with a fan.

Can't leave the door open. Fresh air circulation is pretty much out of the question. (I got a room mate)

AAH. That sux balls. A couple of fans might help move it around enough. When the roommate isn't there open it up and point the fans out. I don't know if it will be enough or not. How many square feet or square meters do you think it is.

Probably like 15x15'. The air seems fresh and not musky at all.

Check with an outdoor grower and see if an open air grow is possible with a little maipulation of air, light, & temp?
May try a search on basement grows. Just an idea.

Contamination could be a serious problem. It would have to be stringently cleaned (and maintained that way). An ozone generator to kill off mold and such wouldn't hurt BEFORE you start anything else (I believe I read that ozone destroys mycelium). Also, is your friend cool. What kind of foot traffic comes into the building? Straight people or friendly drug-users (don't tell anyone about cultivation!)?
Also, if you did run into contam. once you had some pins I'd recommend placing it outside (contam doesn't seem to grow as fast outside). I've had contamination problems indoors before and just threw the whole mess into my compost pile. I was greeted about two weeks later with a NICE harvest of cubes.
Above all else, be safe.

OH! OK! In that case I agree it would probably be better for that.
