Just fan dry them. Desiccants are a waste of money IMHO. One of the easiest ways is to take a box fan and put some screen over the sucking side, make some edges around the outside and fill with whatever material needs to be dried. Obviously you need to put some legs on it or hold it up off the floor somehow. It works great.

If you are going to use silica or some other desiccant, fan dry them first until they're mostly dry and then put them with the desiccant. Otherwise your wasting a lot of desiccant. Fan drying will get them plenty dry unless you live in a high humidity area.

Depends on your local humidity level. Should take around 24-72 hours. Careful that your mushies don't blow away or get chopped up by the fan as they get lighter.

I'm picking the fruits from my first-ever grow right now.  I put them in front of a fan for 24 hours till they're mostly dry, then put them in a tupperware filled with Damp-Rid.  Seems to be working pretty well, though I have to say the shrooms have a potent nasty shroom smell.  I'm pretty sure they're not rotten, just a heavy unappealing mushroom smell.

if you have some random stuff around your house you can try to make something like what i made:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=10225518&page=0&vc=1#10225518

its not 10' from my shotgun FC and its the only place in the room where they STAY cracker dry.

(ive taken em out, put in a sealed bag in a sealed container with some crappy desiccent, and they got all floppy and wetish again)

i dont know how it works EXACTLY, but it does... and well.
if you dont have the parts around it would prolly cost you 10-20$ MAX.

Also you can go buy a pack of beef jerky. They usually stick a food-grade desiccant in there which you can put in a zip lock with ur shrooms and let it touch them and everything. Desiccant found in shoes works at well but its not food-grade and therefore should not come in actual contact with the mushrooms.

i fan dry by putting the shrooms on a screen across a humidifier fan (JUST the fan) and puttin a box over it...
after they feel dry i put em in a almost-sealable box with some baked epsom salts for desiccant. i encourage using something like epsom salts cuz they are reuasable and are environmentally friendly...plus you can recharge them by just bakin em for another 40 min :smile:
as for just sitting them on paper? your paper will get wet, the shrooms may try growin into the paper...there are lots of things that can happen, but if they are just sittin there they most likely will begin to rot after a few days unless you have a fan/heat on them

Silica can also be dried in the oven.  And there's also the old rice drying method where you use dried rice to suck up extra moisture.

I just put it on a paper bag with a fan for 24 hours, then in a dessacant chamber for 12 hours.
