No need for the heater, really.
The fan will do. And yeah, Heat will degrade the goodies. If you're really in a hurry, don't worry about it, maybe eat a tad more--it won't make a huge difference.

no heat doesnt effect potency why else would people use food dehydrators to dry their mushrooms at 150 degrees

1) Heat breaks down psilocybin, that's not misinformation. Just use a fan, it's quick and easy. Then use a desiccant, that's the best way.
2) It took almost a year for y'all to critique my post! Anyhoo, I still stand behind it....

I have made mushroom tea that is plenty damn potent so I do have to go with the school of thought that heat is not as damaging as previously believed,I still would want my dehydrator on the lowest setting just to be on the safe side however,I realize this is contradictory and actually downright makes no logical sense at all but it just seems like a dehydrator at 95 could do the job just as good as 150 and I would feel more comfortable at 95,what do I care I only fan dry anyway

From what I have read here, heat does in fact degrade the psilocybin, but not until high heat is applied-- I seem to remember 400 degrees or something.
This was brought up in a thread of some guy claiming he smoked shrooms to no effect, and was wondering why.
