If you use a portable greenhouseit will reduce the humility but it won't eliminate the issue. You could use a grow tent with an extractor fan, but there are also other things you could use that for and the resale value will be better.
No, it’s a “Greenhouse” I got from Amazon.

Thanks! I saw someone on Amazon.com said to just search for "mini Greenhouse plastic cover" for a replacement so that might help. I do enjoy being able to see in and turn on just the greenhouse lights at night and listen to music.
Still, I worry about that one shelf for you. Maybe remove the second from the bottom and move the tall plants to the bottom then even out the rest?
Hopefully yours is better or different from mine but it looks pretty close.

Sturdy it is not! It was only $38 when I bought it. It's not awful as long as you keep the limitations in mind. Have fun planting!
Here’s the link! It was very affordable in comparison to alternatives and effective!

You can transplant to Dixie cup to one gallon pot keep over winter, then spring time you could pot up.
Eventually work up to this one ...I started with this one on my first grow ...actual had 2 of them full ...that's why I started experimenting https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D7GHEES/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_XYFPYRGS0W7ATVS823WE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
There's a lot to answer here.
You can find small martha tents on Amazon - mine even came with built in shelves:

You can also find computer fans that are already wired to USB plug for easy power.
I started with a reptile humidifier, but I wasn't happy it kept clogging with condensation because I had a sharp bend in the output.
I went to House of Hydro and picked up the 3 disc atomizer, it seems to create plenty of vapor to control humidity of the tent. Bought the other parts there a made a humidifier in a 17 gal tough tote or something like that.
Humidifier is connected to an Inkbird Humidifier controller so I can dial in when it comes on and such.
I use one 80mm computer fan running exhaust like 2 minutes out of every 30 - I'm still tweaking this - use a cycle timer to specify on and off time. I just have it propped at the base of the tent blowing out.
I'm new to this and still dialing it in - my first SB is in there now. (So if anyone has feedback on what I'm doing I'd love to hear it)
I keep the lid on loosely upside down, and still go in and manually fan a few times a day.
Completely understandable, I have mine in a coat closet with a small indoor gardening tent. I can use it for BRF cakes (my preferred method), or 4-6 12qt mono tubs. Basically, if you have a coat closet you’re set. Home-Complete Mini... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D7GHEES?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share like this
Something like this could maybe work for your needs. https://www.amazon.com/Home-Complete-Greenhouse-4-Tier-Shelves-Grow-Seedlings-Season-Gardening/dp/B01D7GHEES
I would be wary of using a space heater, you will dry out the air in your environment.
That is from Amazon too. It's like $30-$35 bucks. I think I spent $60 total for everything. OH! I forgot! You need the Humidity Controller too!
That's really nice, it'll work fine.
I'm using something like this with a 3 disc atomizer from house of Hydro for humidifier:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D7GHEES
We used packing tape and black plastic sheeting to cover it. We cut holes in the top and covered them with micropore tape.
Here is a grow tent that you could put down there.
I also know where to get a cheap laminar flow hood (around $400) if you need.
I'm building a mushroom cultivation business as well.
I use mason jars and mostly 6 quart bins to minimize damage from contam though I hardly have any.
Your basement should work really well as long as you set up proper air filtration. Find a HEPA fan to circulate air maybe.

I used a greenhouse tent from amazon with some LED light strip and ink bird controller for temp/humidity. For FAE and humidity I copied the mushroom cube with a tub, pc fan and ultrasonic fogger
