shrooms crispy but not cracker dry and storing fresh mushrooms

Hey guys!
So I've been drying some shrooms with two computer fans. It's gone two days and they're almost cracker dry, they're just really crispy. (they're liberty caps by the way)
Will they still last? I have loads more shrooms I gotta dry and can only dry a little at a time. Want to do them quick before they go bad. They're in the plastic bag I put them in after i picked them. They're not stored in the fridge as I can't have them there for reasons, so I put them in the shoebox. Where's the best place to put them? They've been in the fridge for the first last two days so maybe they're got a bit of extra time 
adios

They need to be cracker dry. Since you have much more to dry, I recommend 1 of 2 options:
1) Get a food dehydrator to dry the rest.
2) Get a container of damp rid (or another dehydrating agent) and put it in a closed bin with the mushrooms. Make sure that the mushrooms don't contact the damp rid. The best way to do this is get the damp rid canister. Leave the powder in the canister, but open it up. Place the whole canister in a sealed bin with the mushrooms. Let the bin be sealed for a few days and you should get cracker dry mushrooms.
If they are not cracker dry, they are susceptible to rotting and possibly the actives will oxidize in the presents of H2O. Good luck.
