Drying mushrooms in the dryer?

Hey I had my first trip last weekend, it was really fun. Well I got more, and they are dry but I had a question. The last time 2 times I got the mushrooms, I fan dried them for 1-2 days. I don't really want to go buy the chemical that dries them, and putting them out in the sun is out of the question where I live. I was wondering if putting them in a bag or something and throwing them in the dryer would be a good idea? I'm aware heat and fan/sun drying them and everything will lose a little potentcy, but would putting them in the dryer be a pretty quick/efficient way of drying them? Or would it be too hot in the dryer? I'm not sure of dryer temps, but anyways holla back!

dont put them in the dryer...shrooms lose poetency with sustained exposure to high temps, so the longer you keep them in the heat the weaker they get...just fan dry them...be patient, you'll be much happier

I just unscrewed the top of my dehydrator and removed the heating coil.. works fine for me.

just use a fan it takes about 12-24 hours.. If you have a small heater you can use that too just on low heat..

If you read the post correctly, I had already dried them. I was implying for the next batch I get. I should quit using implications, it just confuses people too much =(

I'd say that if you are looking for specific answers to your questions, that are read by people of many nationalities, from all over the world, then you need to write more clearly.
Leaving the shrooms on a paper towel in front of a fan will do the trick in a few days. Don't put the poor buggers in your dryer!

I think it is a great idea if your dryer has a "no-heat" setting and if it has a tennis shoe rack.
