there is no potency loss either way. You can fan them, use that nasty ass desiccant, or a dehydrator on high. You will not notice the difference.
Why would you even think that there would be?

Potency loss happens due to oxidisation of the actives. I have read about many people drying with dehydrators set upto 140F without noticing much potency loss.
Unless you are drying at ridicioulsy high temps, getting them dry quicker and into a sealed jar with damp rid or silica jar along with an oxygen eater, will keep them very good for a long time.

ok well that gives me another question. in the summer be and a friend found a farm like a company farm went there at night found some cow or horse manure not sure witch threw on some gloves n started lookin. we found a decent amount of mushrooms but i wasn't sure if they where cubs so i took them home washed them off then sat them under a heat lamp for about a day. then ate them and nothing really happen. do u think the heat lamp totally killed them or where they nothing?

Lol that's pretty brave. I don't think I'd eat something I wasn't sure of. And the heat lamp was probably a bad idea. Those things get pretty hot.
