I imagine this might be interesting for longer distances in which broken shielding might not be so easily replaced. In such cases, regenerating your shielding

  Why not fly with a pre pulverized shield? There aren't many big forces on a long distance space hall and one could imagine using electrostatic forces to hold the pulverized shielding in place. No need to regrow the radiation shield then.

    Why not indeed. Why not investigate growing a shield as well?

  Except that in general most mushrooms produce more CO2 than then consume. In fact, they’ve been researched as a possible additional variable to the CO2 budget equation: https://phys.org/news/2016-01-mushrooms-contribute-global.html https://phys.org/news/2016-01-mushrooms-contribute-global.ht.... I doubt that radiation-loving mushrooms are edible, and if they produce CO2 rather than scrub it, I can’t consider them to be part of the life-support system.

    Bring plants/algae?
