you can pick up Damp Rid from most hardware stores and home centers. Check near the paint aisle. They use it to get moisture out of basements before they paint.

I use a dehydrator set at the lowest heat setting and have no problems with potency whatsoever.

Ok here are the shots of that try system that I got from the office super store. I put a power cord in one shot so you get an idea of size.

I bought the same nesco food dehydrator from walmart and it fried my little guys too. It made my room hot as shit. After they were dry I ate 2 grams and they barley did anything. I am also looking for a good drying method but I think I am just gonna make a contraption out of a small trash bin, a few mesh shelves, a fan, and possibly some damp rid after that
oh and a lamp

You could always just take the dehydrator apart and disable the heating element. But I just use an american harvest set at 95 degrees. No problems :thumbup:

As far as where to buy desiccant, I've bought Drierite from Kmart a couple times.  I spread my fresh mushrooms out, blow a fan over them till they're mostly shrunken but still flexible, then put them on a brass screen over Drierite.

I took ya'lls advice and removed the heating element. Will it still get them completely dry or should i add a couple of lamps or use some desiccant?

You'll know if they're dry enough.  Cracker-dry really means dry as a cracker :P  A clean snap of the stem will tell you.  If they're not completely dry, a day in a desiccation chamber will seal the deal.
