Fan or Damprid?

I have used a combination of both in the past, but now I have no access to damprid, so would just fanning them until they are cracker dry work fine?

How long does it normally take to dry out completely with just a fan?

Use both. I fan for 2 days, or until mostly dry, then finish up with Damprid. Damprid doesn't work well with really wet shrooms. Too much moisture.
Fan in the dark, then move to dark dessicant chamber.

There was a post way back where someone sliced their bigger shrooms in half, lengthwise, so that they would dry to cracker-like faster with the fan ...If I am way off, or this is not good to do please straighten me out!

Your good. best way to go with a large shroom, finish it up with rice instead of damp rid. 350F for 20 minutes, let it cool for a bit pour it in and toss in some shrooms, contact doesnt matter its a food product.

epsom salt is great as well, way better than rice (better than damprid too) and they sell it at any grocery store for a few dollars, spead it out on a cookie sheet and bake in oven for 45mins at 400F and your good to go, with fan drying you gotta be sure they are completly dry, in 3 days most of them will seem cracker dry but i had some and put them in a ziplock with dessicant for about 3weeks and they were moist when i opened the bag, they were still OK but potency suffered abit.

If you live in a place where the temperatures outside are pretty low right about now, the air inside will be drier and total drying with fan's is possible.
Place the mushrooms on the fan directly, or have them in a plastic container with the fan being used as an exhaust fan, sucking up the moist air, rather than pushing air over them. Works pretty good.
