No! Heat will kill the active chemicals.
Fan dry them! Or/AND use desiccant.

must have been pretty wet to get fuzzy that quick. get a food dehydrator. Oven is bad for shrooms.

Screw all that. Here is how I dry my mushrooms and it works perfectly:
Fan dry them for 12-24 hours. Right in front of the fan. If the mushrooms are too beefy to dry completely, cut them up into thinner slices.
Once they've been fan dried, go to home depot and find yourself an AIR TIGHT (must be completely air tight) container. Then go to the painting section and look for Damp Rid. If you can't find it ask someone, it's cheap stuff. Then, take your container, pour the damprid in the bottom of it. Create some way to suspend the mushrooms over the damprid. I have a layer of damprid, some chicken wire, and then a coffee filter on top of the chicken wire where the fan dried mushrooms sit. This works perfectly and will get your mushrooms cracker dry. I mean REALLY dry, you'll have no problems powdering them.

Put them under a fan untill dry lol! I would try to find a way to suspend them like chicken mesh or something, b/c airflow makes it faster.

yeah ,a fan will do fine if the humidity is low in your house,if not it may take 3 or 4 days to get'um good and dry.they wont be cracker dry but it will be close.if you plan on storeing them for a while you better go get some damp-rid or epsom salt.you need to bake the desiccant for a little while to get out all the h2o before you use it for drying.instead of choping the shrooms in little pieces,slice them long ways in half.place them in front of a fan and wait.turn them every once in a while to speed up the process.when they are almost dry put them in a airtight container with good dry desiccant. place a paper towel on top of the desiccant to keep the shrooms from coming in direct contact with it.place in fridge and the next morning you will have cracker dry shrooms!-)
