Anyone ever thought of putting them in a pillow case and throwing them in the dryer? I would imagine they might get pretty bruised but if you've got alot of weight and your in a hurry owell.

Don't be a moron , or a fool .
If you're gonna be serious enough about this hobby to worry about how to dry pounds upon pounds of mushrooms , be serious enough to get a dehydrator. Who's gonna be serious enough to get pounds upon pounds and then throw them in a dryer . You'll wind up with nothing but dust . Grow up . Be serious 
Excuse my harshness . I've been out all night celebrating my Birthday

If you have pound upon pounds, get a window screen, lay them on top and blow a fan on them. When they get as dry as they are gonna be, move them to a big ol' sealed container with some desiccant. In another day they are totally dry.
Nesco is an excellent dehydrator, but those ronco's work just fine. Keep prowling thrift stores.

I was thinking the exact same thing Pillow case in a dryer? come on.
Fan dry on a screen for a day or 3 to get the bulk moisture out. Then decidenet for another day. Simply, common, effective.
