that dryer takes the same exact concept i have. mine is just a set up and take down when needed deal though, i had a big roll of window screen i cut into squares and put wooden frames around, then stacked ontop of each other and put a box fan underneath it, and a spaceheater blowing heat above the fan. does your dry fine without any heat?

we use to have one just like that at work for drying our chanterelle leftovers, worked great. its really nice to be able to stack mushrooms in the trays a few inches deep after a big harvest. they shrink up so much after the first few hours that it doesnt really congest airflow. american harvest/excaliber type dehydrator trays are too shallow.
you should consider moving the fan to the bottom with the air blowing up, and even a small ceramic heat under that. the reason for this is that the hot air rises and takes the moisture up and out. when you add trays of freshly harvested fruits, you always want to put them on top of the existing trays. so that the driest fruits are on the bottom closest to the fan. this will insure that when you add 3 pounds of wet fungus to the dehydrator, the 2.5 lbs of evaporating water wont rehydrate your already dry/semi-dry fruits. and it will help you keep track of whats what. we were able to make many pounds of cracker dry chanterelles in about 2 days like that.

Nice!
You know, stupid me considering having it blow up, but.. without thinking about the heat decided blowing down would be better. Thanks for the tips! Just some common knowledge that can save a lot of time for other people. =) Much appreciated. Good thing I still have room to change that up.

I'm considering compiling a LAB tek once I'm done with the project... and update it accordingly as experience affords me to make it better... or other could include great feedback as well.
Everyone should be inspired to do as I do. It is incredibly self rewarding, kind of a dream?

So are you going to add heat to this aswell? You wouldnt even have to do anything different other than flip the side the fan is on so it blows upwards instead of down... then sit a spaceheater beside it blowing hot air into the bottom. Ive had this concept written down for a long time, just havent had to finish building it cause i havent had the need to use one that big yet. But...everyone has goals.

****UPDATE*****
Alrighty, I'm finally grinning here as things are starting to pick up pace. I have a lot of my mini-projects in the mail and being shipped to me now..
Until that time, here happens to be the beginning of the FC's:
Originally the plans were to stack the FC half of the room with 3 Martha type greenhouses that I would buy from Ebay... when I made those plans they were like 18$ + Shipping. And if you do a ebay search of the 4-tier greenhouses they're now all like 50-60 bucks!!! Ridiculous. So, I spent a little time looking around for some normal shelving that I could turn into a greenhouse and came across a couple from home depot that is 18" deep x 36" wide x 72" high, and has 5 shelves.
At first I figured I'd just take the top shelf off so that the top shelf could get more light... but once I got it up in my room I've decided to use all 5 shelves.
 So here it is packed up before I unload the first one.  As I start to assemble it...  Both now up and in their respective corners, as you can see I have the top shelves on the ground because they would be too high compared to the rest of my shelving. I originally placed my jar shelving in relation to the height of the ebay greenhouses.  See, if I were to use that top shelf I wouldn't be able to reach my jar shelving(since I would need head space above that top shelf if I was going to use it) Soooooooo.... I decided to wanted to use the 5th shelf. Which means I'll have to reduce the head space of each shelf to accommodate.  So I set up a small block guide on my chop saw to cut eat plastic support 3 inches less than they originally were. (I had to cut 32 of them)  See here, 3 inches less. Originally the total height of the unit was 73 inches, and I needed it to be 61. And I have 4 sets of shelf support, therefore if I lose 3 inches off each set I get a total of 12 and... ]SHAABAM!! 2 sexy 5 tier shelf units that will fit perfectly...  Now as you can see, I have some head space for that top 5th shelf. I'll just have to make some custom supports for the top that slightly taper back along with the jar shelving and it should be good. Besides I don't need a lot of head space up there, especially if the new trays into the FC are introduced on the top shelf (no fruits, closer to light) it should help with pinning. Now you might be asking..."12" of head space... thats not a lot, are you growing mini-fruits?" Lemme explain:  What I'm using as trays are these 16" x 16" x 2.5" seeding trays, they ALMOST fit perfectly in this thing.. I gotta turn them slightly sideways but thats fine. And with a total of 12" space, with 2.5 inch of substrate(uncased) I think I can work with 9.5 inches to grow into. Not to mention the underside of the shelves have about an inch of free space to move into anyways. So, all in all I'm actually quite happy with these, with the ebay greenhouses I wouldn't be able to fit two of these trays per shelf. And I'd only have 4 tier's to work with. So, all in all I'm quite excited to get these babies wrapped up and hooked up to the bulk humidifier I'm building. Also, the only thing that is bugging me is finding a tray to place under these two beasts... I'd like to have a fat tray of perlite under both of them... but locating these trays without costing and arm and a leg seems somewhat difficult(no not trays that go under washer/dryers). Obviously I'll update as the progress continues... I forgot to show you some pictures of my work table but I'll do that in the next update. And for a teaser I'm going to build a bulk humidifier that will house a return air box(not filtered) controlled with a variable motor control on the squirrel cage fan and a cycle timer with the fogger/air stone. Hopefully with this amount of control I can play around with FAE/RH as much as I'd like.
