having trouble drying

Hi Guys, i placed my shrooms under a fan in a shoe box for 24 hours then i put into a tupperware container with dap-rid on the bottom and the shrooms sitting on some foil with holes poked into it for 24 hours but when i went to check the shrooms they seemed damper then before. i just bought the damp-rid yesterday so i'm not sure what could be causing the problem here.
if you guys have any better suggestions how to dry them with out a dehydrator it would be greatly appreciated.

Damp rid is to keep things dry once they're dried not make them dry. It's going to be over loaded. Just use a fan directly on them for a little over a day.

The desiccant is only meant to get the final 10-15% of moisture that fanning did not get.
If they are any wetter than that, the desiccant WILL become over saturated.

Lay them flat. Don't keep them in a container. You're preventing a lot of that air from passing over them and you're allowing moisture to congregate in it.
