Should concrete be waterproofed or allow water to pass through?

If you want to cultivate mushrooms - how do you prevent dangerous molds from developing? I think it becomes so uncontrolled that it would be better to have a sealed basement and grow mushrooms there in a special room. Is a moat at [die] possible? You have to secure your property well so that no children drown in front of the house.

I had actually planned to make a sort of airlock, change clothes, and ventilate the basement only through HEPA filters. I don't want to cultivate 100% mushrooms there, but rather more noble ones so that the effort is worth it. The mushrooms would also undergo a seasonal simulation so that they are ready to harvest after just 3 months. This only works if you have very high humidity and can adjust light and temperature.

However, I just realized that if the pond water seeps through the walls, spores of mold fungi could also pass through. Or is the concrete fine enough to filter them out?

The property is not yet available; since this is an experiment, it will be built in the middle of nowhere anyway. Far away from any children.

I am absolutely sure that the fish will feel very comfortable in the alkaline environment of the fresh concrete wall. And the reinforcement steel loudly shouts hooray when it is permanently moistened.

With this ingenious overall construction, one wonders why not everyone breeds fish in the moat with drawbridge and [Edelpilze] in the perpetually damp basement.

If steel is used, only the one coated with epoxy resin. How long is the concrete considered "fresh"? I had assumed that after 30 days everything is cured.

Our shell builder told us that our concrete ceilings only fully dried out after 2 years. But does it look the same with your concrete for fish farming..?

Actually, drying takes less time. Maybe the structural engineer means final strength? In concrete, very slow chemical reactions occur, so it really takes that long. However, the strength changes only very little after one month.
