dehydrating shrooms

I currently just harvested half of my first flush, around 75g wet, and need to dry it. I will be using a food dehydrator for the first time to do this.
I have a presto which operates at 165F and was wondering about how long it should take to dry my mushies. According to your experiences how long does an amount relative to this take to dry in a dehydrator to get cracker dry.
thanks

75g I can usually dry in 4-8 hours depending on how thick they are.
Basically the bottom trays dry a lot faster and 75g I imagine I could put all on the very bottom tray.

That really depends a lot on climate. In the Canadian prairies, when I lived there, it would take about 3-6 hours if I was doing it in the middle of the winter, when it was so dry my nose would bleed. In the festering bayou that is the bottom-right quarter of the US, I've had it take 8-10 hours. Can you give us a general location?

Use the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Then put them in a jar of honey. Best method for preserving potency.

No. Don't bake your shrooms, especially @ 350°
That's a great way to turn them into a goopy mess

It'll be 8-12 hours. Put them on the dehydrator while you sleep and check them in the morning. Check the stems to see if they crack with no bend whatsoever, then check that the joint between the cap and stem do the same. Stems can crack when they're not 100% dry, so always check the cap for wiggle.

Thanks for the replies guys. They got cracker dry in literally 45 minutes, maybe I don't understand what that is, but they snap when trying to bend in half, and they will crumble if pressed too hard.
I was wondering if the temp (165) will damage the potency of the shrooms. What you guys think?

That is what cracker dry is, and no, the potency is not damaged by that heat. You must be somewhere really dry, and with really skinny mushrooms.

I left them in a bag overnight before vacuum sealing them, and they got a little moisture back in them(or they weren't truly dry...) either way,
how do I keep them from being crushed when vacuum sealing them? because I just vac sealed, and I heard all of them crush when it sealed the bag

wouldn't that cause them to re-hydrate a little bit, potentially ruining them?
also does anyone know how to make a homemade damrid packet so I can stick some in the vac seal bags? I have the loose damprid
do you guys store your vac sealed packages in the fridge?
