Rice will help with ambient humidity, (like in salt shakers) but it will not DE-humidify the shrooms. The best way is to fan dry and then use dessicant for the final drying. My mushrooms usually weigh about 8% of wet weight. I grow lots of gourmet mushrooms so it was worth while to spend a little money(maybe $25-30) on a one time setup for drying and it will last almost indefinitely. If you were to try the rice, use Minute Rice and bake it in the oven at 200F for a few hours, this will remove ALL moisture. Natural rice still has a high moisture content.

Peace.
