Yes, you should dry them if they are not going to be eaten for a few days.

Under a fan on paper should be fine or on cardboard make sur to stir them up once a day to help dry them evenly Try to stay away from newspaper even though they use rice and soy ink its unappealing when it sticks to your mushrooms. I would slice them in half and rinse out any larvae before I dried them. If they are anything like M. Esculenta I bet they will be savory with a slight smoke flavour especially when dried. Flavors tend to condense and concentrate in dried mushrooms.

Depends on the relative humidity, temperature, how strong the fan is and how large the mushsrooms are.

What do you know ! I found a few more this morning. One of them (2nd picture) has a hole in the top maybe somethibg dug into it or cut the tip off
 
Also if you could tell me what these are, I found them also on the walk but I don't really want to make a whole new ID thread

The ones from the right look like Psathyrella and on the left you have some Coprinoid (the grey ones)
edit: Maybe they're all just the same, sorry just finished making my honey liquor and it's not helping, at first glance they resembled something like Psathyrella candolleana but the stipe looks coprinoid

looks like a morel. Could be a false morel. Either way, I wouldn't touch it.
