Not according to HGTV:
"Do not vent a dryer to an attic or a crawl space, not only because of the potential for a fire, but also because all that moisture can lead to decay damage."

You may get animals (that sometimes seek shelter in crawl spaces) tunneling up and into your dryer. Plus it could be a fire hazard if some animal decides to make the vent tube a home and insulate it with sticks and leaves.
You could vent it under the crawl space but I would also run the tube to one side of the house to vent it out of the house with a small normal vent opening...small enough that animals can't get into it. Plus it is so your house doesn't smell like dryer sheets every time you use the dryer.
Plus, what everyone else said is also a good point.

examine most of the solutions and that they are all maximum outstanding. you could no longer vent right into a crawlspace. I had a washer/dryer in my house without exterior vent. I have been given an prolonged vent hose and used to run it out the window when I used it. you may get a chunk of plywood and hook the hose to a common exterior vent fixture. shape the timber to greater healthful nicely interior the window like a window demonstrate screen. additionally i became into waiting to purchase an interior venting equipment that had the vent hose going right into a plastic vent container which you will possibly fill with water. It on no account worked for me because of the fact the moisture you get rid of from the outfits lands up interior the room. The water basically amassed the lint.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't vent into any confined space. The moisture from the venting will cause all kinds of problems. Mold being the biggest one. Just run the vent outside. It may take a bit more work, but it will save you even more in the future.

The dry vent vents lint and fumes from your dryer. Things like soap, fabric softner and bleach smell as they dry. Lint also come out the vent tube. So if you don't mind the smell and the lint under your house is not a problem,, go for it.

Nope fire risk as well as moisture problem go through wall and use metal vent as plastic venting is fire hazzard and not up to code in most areas. Also use as few feet of vent as posible and fewest number of elbows

Not a great idea...moisture could build up in there and give you a heck of a mold problem.

It is okay as long as you don't mind the lint down there. the lint is also flammable, the more of it you get built up the more dangerous it will be.
