Is oven drying at 170° safe for the potency?

I've been settling on just fan drying my fresh fruits, but the last batch was soggy and sweet smelling when I opened up their jar, so I wanna take it to the next step to be safe. My oven's lowest temperature is 170°, and I've heard a lot of talk about going too high and burning through the psilocybin, so I need an experienced opinion on if 170° with the oven cracked open would spoil my fruits.

170 degrees isn't going to effect potency, however I do suggest using a different drying method tho.

Before you start...Do you have a Pressure Cooker and a Dehydrator? I highly recommend getting both!

Buy a dehydrator that runs at 160 degrees. I've heard of ovens working but a dehydrator is set and forget. I bought mine for 40$ and it was well worth the money. And the temperature won't hurt potency, but I'm not sure how well it will work for you.

You can even pick up a dehydrator at thrift stores sometimes for cheap. They're well worth it.

Go online if you can’t afford a dehydrator, buy either a mushroom drying kit or a bag of desiccant (which is the same thing just cheaper). Pour the desiccant in a Tupperware, throw your shrooms in, put the lid on and wait
