I have the problem that Hawk alluded to, I ram so much air through my tent that I do not think that the exhalation of a colonizing mushroom block will raise CO2 levels for my plants.
I would love to be corrected....I have about 50 blocks in the garage right now. :0)

I have to think that they are using a Pleurotis....an Oyster mushroom.
They grow on many subs, including paper waste and spend grounds.

The issue of Oyster mushroom spores is a genuine one, as exposure can lead to mushroom workers lung. ...but I expect that the filter patch of those sacks will have a pore size small enough to contain any spores released.
Take care,

I have had a slight positive pressure in my tent without harming my plants, but you will find that over-pressure will defeat your carbon filter and make the area smell dank.
