Police find 2,300 jars of hallucinogenic mushroom spores


UGENE, Ore. - A Eugene man has been arrested after police found thousands of Mason jars containing enough spores to produce up to 15 pounds of hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Steven Closson has been charged with the unauthorized manufacturing of psilocybin mushrooms.
Because the growing operation was so large, authorities say the 25-year-old may not have been living in the home. That's where the roughly 23-hundred Mason jars were discovered.
Police say the spores would be able to produce a mushroom crop every 40 days or so.
Eugene Police Sergeant Jerry Webber says a pound of dried mushrooms can sell for up to 500-dollars.
Webber says the drug is pervasive in Oregon. Authorities in several southern states have recently intercepted packages of mushrooms coming from Eugene.

jars of spores thats more like 150 thousand pounds

heh, it would really make me laugh is the cops realized that spores are legal
now if this dude hade 2300 jars of spawn, holy shit, he must have a walk in autoclave
who the fuck in their right mind would have a grow operation that big

[mikeownow]

Lol yea wtf? Spores bfd. And there is no way you could pc all that so I call bullshit now wtf?

[the jesus]

Spores may be legal, but that sounds like conspiracy to me.
They can pin that on ya easy.

[siam_jim]

either way, on the news they showed the grow and all the jar fully colonized. there were also stacks of tubs with out friends peaking out the top.. it wasn't the spore but the friuts they got him on..

Mikeownow says... And the govt could tax it.

[cactus_muncher]

the biggest pc I have seen can hold 14 pint jars so to get 2,300 jars with 4 pressure cookers he would have to do 41 or so batches at at least an hour and a half each it would take a minimum of 61 hours not including heat up and cool down times

I smell something funny about that but if it is true that guy definitely put in some major time

[Killjoy]

unless they were all 1/2 pint jars,
cuts the time in half. so 30 hrs. Busy weekend but it could be done.

[Hippie3]

jeez that is alot of jars

[srgtm1a]

I'm sure the media screwed up the facts somewhere along the line.....they always do.

sorta like those busts where they say they found "millions of mushroom spores"....lol, I guess they counted them.

he probably had spores and colonized jars.

Either way, the guy is a friggin' moron. He had that many jars (I guess he never learned the concept of Bulk substrate) and was also shipping mushrooms in the mail.

Yet another prime example.....once you do this to make $$$, it is only a matter of time until you get nailed....and this guy is going to get it bad.

[BennyBlanco]

he prolly had 4 pcs one on each burner goin 24/7..lol...damn going hard

[SharkieJones]

Is there a link to this story?

[WeedyResin]

I'm pissed!!! What a fuckin' waste of my tax dollars. Every night I'm listening to someone else got shot... where the fuck were the dipshits at fer that??? Hmmm??? Now I just wanna cook pork fer dinner. A lb. fer up to $500??? Where the fuck are they getting their info from?

[mindovermycelia]

I think I may know someone who was on the receiving end of that operation, I heard about a huge bust in OR and he said the DEA called him for questioning. They can't get nothing on him now, though.
