You could also use a desiccant...
No heat and it is cheaper than a food dehydrator.
Throw used desiccant in the oven or even nuke it to dry it out and reuse...
Damp Rid works great, in an airtight box with mushrooms suspended over it, not touching.
(i.e. with a plastic screen or cheesecloth, etc)
Dry it out at first too, just in case.

 Hey, i have another question:
It's been like 1 day, 16 hours ago since i stopped the fan and threw them in a jar and today, as soon as i opened the jar i noticed a not really pleasant smell, they are not as dry as when i put them into the jar, they are now in a drying chamber with silice, do you think the smell is weird or it's a normal thing?
I didn't really see anything weird with them, just the smell and that they're no longer as hard as after the fan and i hope that's normal...
Thanks

They'll be fine to eat, I imagine. Less than fully dried cubes can smell pretty awful, but I've eaten them before quite a few times and I'm still kicking around.

Awesome!
Do you think they have less potency, having in mind that i had them out with oxygen and a fan blowing on them for some days?
So now i just keep them there and check if the silice changes color and check if they're cracker dry right? When they are fully dried, Can just put them in a glass jar in a cool and dark place and i'll be good or should i have some silice there too? Also, as long as the silice is good(doesn't change color) i can keep them there in the chamber or not? i think that way they would have less chance to rot or get bad, but i don't really know.
And thank you very much again! I was worried they have gone bad or something

Hard to say about the potency.
Just eat a boat load to make sure. 
When you store them, store them with some silica just to be safe. Most silica can be "recharged" in the stove by baking it.

don't know, can't smell them o.O
what kind of smell
they will be fairly hygroscopic once partially reconstituted due to osmosis
i think bacteria will generally be the first problem
to tell if they are completely dry, the stem should crack if you bend it

They're cracker dry finally 
Also, 4grams should be enough for a "lvl 4" trip or not?

Hard to say, cubes vary in potency and everyone's tolerance to the chemicals are different.

How much do you usually take?
And do you think 4g would be a good dose to know more or less the potency of the shrooms? if it isn't very potent how much time after ingestion should i wait to eat some more?
