The one on the right of your last photo looks questionable to me, wait for a T.I though. You beat me too it looking weird, I would probably toss it.
I would recommend drying them on some paper with a fan blowing over them.

To be honest, there's a fair few that are questionable. They are either too rounded, white or have no teat. But then some have the teat.. I wouldn't have picked them otherwise though. Then again, even though they have a teat, does that mean they are magic? I don't know. Ps I don't have a fan, what kind of fan? Like this?

You say on paper? So don't wrap it in paper? Just leave the top exposed? You sure?

Yeah a little fan like that, or somewhere with good air exchange. Libs are pretty small just leaving them uncovered and spreading them out on some paper towels should dry them I would imagine.
The fan I use is a small 6 inch desk fan and it works pretty well.
If your going to buy a fan for drying mushrooms I would recommend biting the bullet and buying a dehydrator though.

Just any old dehydrator? Or a specific mushroom one? Can I buy online or from my local hardware store?

Air dry them a couple of days. Then buy some damp-rid (calcium chloride) and put a layer of that in a plastic container.
Put the air dried shrooms in some coffee filters and place them on top of the damp rid in the container. Close the lid and wait 24 hrs.
Your mushrooms are now cracker dry (you can pulverise them to powder with your fingers) and ready for storage in a glass mason jar.
They will keep for a couple of years treated this way.

Any old dehydrator will do. Store like Kaal said, those little packs of silica in beef jerky work too I believe.

Okay well, I put them back in the foil container and are sitting in a dark cupboard in my kitchen. I have the window open and the weather looks grey, it's not too cold though. Should I take the lid off the container and place next to the window?
