How long do you normally keep your mushrooms in the dehydrator?

I know your supposed to keep them in there till there cracker dry...but how long does it normally take to dry a fully loaded dehydrator?
My dehydrator hold 4 trays and I say it takes me about 12 hours till I think there fully dehydrated. Does anyone else want to throw in there times for reference?

I have a 5 tray + the bottom that acts like a tray. Nesco american harvest dehydrator which doesn't have a heat setting but all of my thermometers say it's at about 110F when running. It only takes 4-8 hours depending on the size of the shrooms and how many I pack in. Rarely more time but it's taken as much as 10 before.

Anywhere from ~8-18 depending on how much a tub puts out.

18 holy shit. I can dehydrate actual fruit or make beef jerky in under 12 and I'm guessing that's harder to dry than shrooms.

Yeah my dehydrator is a piece of shit I picked up for $3 at Goodwill. It looks to be about 20 years old, and barely puts out any heat. A warm summer day gets hotter than the dehydrator.

There are a lot of factors at play here.
Your dehydrators temperature and the amount of air it moves are big factors. The humidity of the air is also a factor. As well as amount of fruits and density of the fruits in the dehydrator.

I dry mine at 135 degrees and it takes about 8-10 hours depending on the load. I don't want to use a higher temp because I'm worried about potency loss.
