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.

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.
