I agree, I use a Nesco myself. But many people would be surprised how effective open air drying can be, or that it's an option at all. I'm in the Northeast and I recently put a handful of fruits in my Nesco at 95F and another handful spread out nearby on a shelf (no fan or anything). 24 hours later the two batches were almost equally dry. Anyway the OP was asking about the easiest way to dry so I had to suggest it.

If you choose to air dry them - place them gills up toward the sun on a sunny day. The vitamin D level in the mushroom will dramatically increase due to exposure to the sun.

Dehydrator, oven on low setting, fanning, desiccant. They all work, use the method that is easiest/cheapest for you based on the materials you already have/money you are willing to spend.

Bad advice.
Never set your dry/drying shrooms in sunlight.

Nesco/American Harvest Snackmaster with adjustable thermostat works great.
6 full trays dry in half a day or less.
And fully expandable.

I assume those you say "bad advice" and "retarded" have little knowledge in this area.
Paul Stamets has published several papers on this topic.
If you grow mushrooms and intend to consume them after they are dried - then you might consider getting some free vinamin D (and lots of it) from mother nature.

drying out in the sun could be bad for people in climates of high humidity.

The quickest way I have found is to put them in a paper bag, and put a paper towel at the bottom, and leave the top of the bag open.
