Mushrooms dried at a higher temperatures will be bitter tasting and considerably less potent." L.G Nicholas pg 133.

Doesn't matter. It can't be over the temperature to cause any harm that would in turn affect the actives.

I'll have to buy a food dehydrator. I tried drying using the oven (on 170F with door open) and the mushrooms turned dark and messed up.
Best way to dry mushrooms? Food dehydrator Ideal temperature? (seems to be some uncertainty on this) How long? "until cracker dry".....okay but how about an estimate time

read page 1. or the 1000 of threads with this same damn topic and the same answers.
dry in dehydrator. check
temp?? around 200f. my dehydrators go to about 170-190
dry 12-24hrs depending on fruit size. anytime a fruit is over 50+g wet it stays about 30hrs. anytime multiple trays are packed and stacked 24hrs no matter what.
i store large amounts long term in ziplocks. when they are TRULY dry they will stay dry for awhile. vacuum sealing is a good extra measure but these should be dry like store bought dry mushrooms. them bitches are bone dry for months in cheap shitty bags.

Just turn it on high, dehydrators don't get hot enough to ruin or lower potency.

Hey Ghaleon, did you have a fan pointed at the open oven with the mushies inside? Gotta have that moving air. My dehydrator goes from 95-160, I crank it all the way up and go for no less than 8 hours, as long as none are touching. As far as "best" way, I think that's opinion, most efficient and fast is dehydrator but my personal favorite was silly but worked, I put a few fresh ones over the fan of my xbox. Not the most sanitary way but a great story to tell.

If it works, dont change it 
Plus, i own a lot of stuff and the last thing i need is Another bulky item.
i have 3 dehydrators. Just get one, you cant regret it.
I use it to dry mushrooms, make bannana chips, and i set a bowl on top of it to evaporate whatever tincture/concentrate/extract i made without blowing up :P
