It has 5 trays and only a on and off switch. out the thermometer in there and it measured out to 160. Safe for shroomies?

WTF? How old is your nesco? They have an adjustable nob that runs 95-155 nowadays.
No 160 will most likely hurt your potency, I never run hotter than 105.

Stamets suggests not to dry them over 110f.
Just dry some at 160 and see if they stay potent. Its not like mushroom grows arnt renewable.

This is incorrect stamets is wrong on this one.My dehydrator runs at 180 with no potency loss.I have grilled fresh mushies on a very hot grill and there wasnt any potency loss.They are boiled in water without potency loss.So i am curious where you get this information that heat reduces potency?.Only way i can see a potency loss is for extreme heat300f-600f.

I agree with Xax. I run my dehydrator at full bore and no noticible potency loss. I think if there is any potency loss it's offset by the quick drying leaving less time for psilocybin oxidization. I notice alot less bluing on the stems when using the dehydrator.

Nowadays people seem to be saying that potency loss due to heat is greatly exaggerated.
A controlled experiment might be worthwhile. Fan-dry some, Nesco-dry the others and take the same dosage from the same flush on two different occasions.

If you are "Electrical Savvy" should be no problem to rig up a potentiometer in line with the heat element.
I will go no further with the instructions because younger folk may get ideas and I'm not trying to get anyone electrocuted.
Just a thought.
