I have a quick question, if we harvest the mushrooms and place them directly in an electric dryer, does that work ? (it's not to dry them quickly) but I want to know if it's possible to do that

My Search : 45°C + 30% RH — it’s a safe, effective, and balanced setting that works well for most drying scenarios. If you're drying for long-term storage, edibles, Is this correct information ?
You want a dehydrator or something if you plan on doing this over and over. A jerky-maker, you know? I use something like this:
You don't need something half as good but you need to make your shrooms dry so they SNAP and will grind into powder. Any moisture will make them turn gooey and moldy and rotten. You can use a toaster oven on low - just don't cook them ( >140F ~60c) Stick them in an air tight jar with a silica packet. Vacuum seal would be better. Minimal oxygen exposure will help long term storage. Along with a cool dark place.
