You may want to try making a desiccant chamber.  Dry them under the fan for a day, and then put them into the desiccant chamber and within another day or two they will be cracker dry.  I have used this method before with great results.

Also, the mushroom wont dry more than the RH of the air their drying in, even 100% dry mushrooms suck water up like a sponge once you take them out in open air environments. You gotta do more than the fan tek unless your livin in the desert to get them completely dry, do as the poster suggested above and dry under a fan for a couple days then make a desiccant chamber.

Rice as a desiccant? Weird. Just go to a hobby supply store, ask them where they keep the silica gel stuff for drying flowers, and make a little drying chamber out of a tupperware container and some wire screen.

Also, try not to use any heat when drying your mushrooms. It breaks down active chemicals.

before I got my dehydrator I used a small space heater with a fan in it.  I set it on low and had the fruits about 2-3 feet away on paper towels. It worked great without any potency loss.  Just don't let them get hot like over 140-150f and you are set.
