I have some shrooms drying in front of a fan, they have been there for like 3 days now. My beauties are shriveled and kinda spongy, I think they are dry now...or do they get crunchy when there done? How do you tell when thet are completely dry? the last time I dried shrooms I didn't let them dry long enough and some of the stems got soggy

Yup, if you try to bend them they should break.

brittle brittle!! is best, but if they're a little bendy it should be ok, just more of a possiblity of mould growing. I've had some stored in the fridge fer a while that were bendy and they were fine.

How long does it usually take to dry with a fan? How much faster are desiccants, and do the mushrooms retain more potency drying like this? Also my friends and I have been wondering which are more potent, dry, or wet?

Thats right. However, though it I don't think it's "scientifically proven", most people say that eating fresh mushrooms is always better. That's assuming you take enough (remember they weigh about 10 times less when dry, so you would need almost 10x as many wet ones to trip the same as on dry ones.

jo guys i dont get all that confusion about mushie drying, doesnt alyone of you got time at all?
why not just put them nice on a newspaper in a black closet, lets them lie there with about an inch between them and after some days they will be dry just let them lie there for a week and u can be sure that they are REALLY dry.
just my opinion, noone needs 'drying devices!' hm:

Damn straight onelyte! Just put them on a paper towel and put the somewhere out of the way. By your furnace works great... constant DRY airflow.
