let's talk about my dehydrator... need help

OK so I know there's a big debate about whether the heat from a dehydrator will ruin the mushrooms and everything, I don't know which side of this debate I am currently on so I want to play it safe. I have a dehydrator that has different heat settings (listed below) which one would be a. safe and b. optimum for drying
A. 95F (35C) "Herbs and Spices" setting B. 105F (41C) "Nuts and Seeds" setting C. 115F (46C) "Crafts" setting D. 135F (58C) "Fruits and Vegetables" setting e. 155F (68C) "Meats, Fish and Jerky" setting
I'm thinking that the 95F setting will be fine because the constantly circulating air will dry it with or without heat, and it's the lowest IE "safest" setting. I want to hear your opinions though.

go with the lowest, or see if you can safely disconnect the heat source without damaging the unit. maybe add a simple on/off switch on the heating element.

I would try to turn off the heating element but I would end up electrocuting myself and ruining the dehydrator at the same time. I'm horrible with electronics.

I have the same settings on mine. I use 105, which does not have any perceivably negative impact whatsoever in my experience, and is substantially faster than going without heat.

I own that very same dehydrator, and have run LOTS of tests on the different temperature settings. I prefer ~130, and heres why. At 95 it takes 2 days sometimes with thick ones. At 155 they dry rock hard, which makes consuming them not too fun. I have never seen any noticeable difference in potency in same batch, some dried at 95 and some dried at 155.
