just made a new drying chamber comprising of a small tub with a computer fan.
i had previously been drying by simply letting them dry naturally, no air, no disaccant and this was taking up to a week to fully dry.
Ive literally put some shrooms (libs) in this chamber and they are dry after about 6 hours, im obviously gunna leave it for a fair while longer.
jsut never thought this would dry them so fast.. inside the chamber the fan seems to be blowly a large quantity of cold air rapidly.
my main question is.. will this affect potency, the mushrooms drying so quickly or am i ok?

the active chemicals in mushrooms oxidize in contact with air and break down with heat. so theoriticly speaking, the faster you dry them and the cooler the drying temp. the more potent they are. I'm not 100% if this is true but i've heard it on the forums before.

They are fine, dry as fast as possible with this method. I would recommend (situation willing) that you place them on a plate and put a proper fan on them if you can. Get them down as far as possible and then throw them in a desiccant chamber to finish off.
