Most old hands - use a Nesco Brand American Harvest dehydrator, or something similar. Do you wonder why that is?
OKAY....edit...to explain.
Say your ambiant room rh is 30%. Hanging them in front of a fan - will not get them cracker dry, as the air blowing by them - has an rh of 30%. You cannot remove more moisture - that the air contains, without some application of heat - or desiccant.
A dehydrator is designed just for that purpose & without any desiccant. You can get one at any big Mart, for around $40.
Set it & forget it - perfect every time - is well worth the investment.

The cheapest one I have found in Oz that has a temperature control is $280. Massive rip off.

To those who use the nesco, how long (on average) does it take to dry them in it. I have one but haven't dried any fruits in it yet.

Mine takes anywhere from 12-24 hours to dry on the lowest setting (95F), sometimes a little longer if there are some real fatties in the batch. If you need to speed things up, you can cook them at the 155F setting for about 6-12 hours.

Fan dry them for 24 hours. Bake some rice (white or brown ) on a flat cookie sheet at about 200 degrees f for 20 mins. Don't let it burn! Then put the rice in a Tupperware container, and the fan dried shrooms on top. The will be cracker dry in a day or two. The more shrooms you have the more rice you need to dry, but its not rocket science, i always just use allot to make sure.

thats a good idea, but now they sell 'damp rid' everywhere for dirt cheap, just use that.

What kind of negative things? desiccant is good, it just takes longer than a dehydrator and you have to wait until the shrooms are somewhat dry already before you put them in with the desiccant. If you must use desiccant, go with the reusable kind. Whatever desiccant you use, keep it from touching your shrooms, unless you like a really nasty taste.

Thanks foo, I'm using some magnesium based decicant. Someone said decicant messes up your shrooms, but i cant understand y. Its cheap, so I think I'll add it to my shoebox drying thing. It has a heated fan blowing dry warm air thru the top.
