Chemistry - CO2 removal from mushroom growing tent

Please stay away from sodium hydroxide, it's way too nasty to use in non-lab setup. You can handle it safely in dry conditions, but in contact with water, it becomes sticky and causes bad burns.

As a substitute, I suggest $\ce{Ca(OH)_2}$, readily available as slaked lime. You can structure it into relatively high-surface sculptures and it solidifies into common plaster upon binding enough $\ce{CO_2}$. It is often used for this purpose due to its low price, low toxicity and ease of handling.

In your situation, I would just put some vertically fixed mesh soaked in very viscous suspension of calcium hydroxide. In the high humidity conditions you'd have no problems with normal drying, so once it solidifies it has done its job and you can just hit the mesh against the ground to crumble the plaster away and put on new layer. It is advisable to use gloves and goggles, but it is not as necessary as it would be in the case of sodium hydroxide (look at all the masons around).
