Kitchen Hack #3,167 - When drying small batches of mushrooms, herbs or spices, simply an oven with a low enough setting below 150°f will suffice.
If the oven won't set low and hold, it also lacks a warmer setting,do this:
Place a perforated rack over a sheet pan and allow for the items needed to be dried, to set out in the open air for a few days to even a week.... you will not be disappointed by the results.
Theres no replacement for the speed, accuracy and efficiency of an actual machine dehydrator, but solar powered ones do work amazingly well and home built comes a close 3rd.
Just remember to experience the experiment!
