 [PA] Large mushroom operation busted

Large mushroom operation busted
February 11, 2012 - altoonamirror.com
TYRONE - A suspected psilocybin mushroom-growing operation discovered by Tyrone police is one of the biggest ever found by police in Pennsylvania, state narcotics agents said Friday.
"We've never seen it in town," Tyrone Borough Police Chief John Romeo said of psychoactive mushrooms. "It's obviously been sold out of town."
The grow operation was sophisticated and large, occupying two rooms of an apartment at 1058 Pennsylvania Ave., Romeo said. It was uncovered after a domestic assault was reported by a woman who lived there with her boyfriend.
Justin H. Thompson, 26, was arrested Thursday night after he allegedly hit his girlfriend and then duct-taped her to a chair earlier in the day, Romeo said.
According to Thompson's arrest papers, he told his girlfriend that he was going to pick up their daughter and she had to stay at the apartment. The girl freed herself with a kitchen knife and escaped, police said.
When police talked to the girlfriend about the alleged assault, she told them about the mushroom operation and gave officers permission to search the apartment.
When Tyrone Officer Cory Roland and other officers, along with the girlfriend, walked into the apartment, police said they found mushrooms in various states of growth - from spores in petri dishes to mature specimens in soil beds.
Officers left the apartment and called in agents from the Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, who called in their special response team, the Blazing Arrow Hook & Ladder Volunteer Fire Company to refill air packs and the Blair County Hazardous Materials Team to assist in decontaminating agents and equipment.
The precautions were taken because of concerns about having agents exposed to any spores disturbed by the dismantling process, BNI Supervisory Agent James Walstrom said.
"He obviously knew what he was doing," Walstrom said of Thompson, adding that growing mushrooms is a more involved process than growing marijuana.
Investigators still don't have a handle on the quantity of the psychoactive mushrooms found or the full capacity of the operation, except that it was beyond anything they've seen before, police said.
Thompson, who has no prior criminal history, appeared before Magisterial District Judge Todd F. Kelly at 8:45 p.m. Thursday on charges of simple assault, unlawful restraint and harassment and jailed in lieu of 10 percent of $10,000.
He was taken Friday from Blair County Prison and arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Fred B. Miller on possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, conspiracy charges, possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia charges.
"My intentions were in the right," Thompson told Miller before bail was set at $250,000 cash.
The investigation is ongoing, and Thompson won't be the only person charged in the case, Romeo said.
The dismantling of the operation shut down Pennsylvania Avenue between 10th and 11th streets for about 3 hours Friday, and BNI Regional Director Randy Feathers said the cleanup cost ranged between $15,000 and $20,000.
According to BNI agents who respond to scenes such as the one in Tyrone, it was one of the largest mushroom operations they have ever encountered, Feathers said.
Feathers credited the Tyrone officers for their work and said they followed their Operation Our Town-funded training by realizing what they had found and calling in specialists to deal with the evidence collecting and cleanup.
Police removed enough equipment and evidence to fill several trucks with some items going to the state police crime lab in Greensburg and other evidence heading to BNI's State College office, Feathers said.

That cleanup shouldn't have cost even 1% of the money they spent. They should be sued by the taxpayers for misuse of funds.

What a waste,
It's not like the guys were dumping contaminated substrate right on the floor.
I'm pretty sure they don't really clean stuff inside the house, they most probably just take all the stuff out. And they breaks ALL THE GREENHOUSES

One can only hope that at least ONE of those Tyvek covered monkeys are thinking, 'why the fuck are we carrying all of this shit wearing tanks of air?' JUST ONE!? Or they all blindly follow and probably stepped in some dog shit and a used condom while walking back and forth to the dump truck.

And/or chemicals. Any of you guys have solvents? Reactants? Acids? Lye?
How many tax dollars would it cost if a cop were to acquire a lifelong debilitating condition from cleaning up a grow?
Hazmat suits make good sense.

I'll just reference the literature. Yep, they're harmless and floating all over outdoors.
If you thought I was referring to toxic spores, then I'll clarify that I wasn't. What moron doesn't know there are very toxic spores out there?

I can totally understand the hazmat suits. When you're in that line of work you really don't know what you're encountering or what something like that was used for. And you're certainly not going to trust the word of the guy you're arresting. What I don't understand is how it costes 20k for 3 hours of clean-up.

This was pretty close to me. It is a very small backwoods town. I think they have like 2 cops total seriously. A few months ago I heard from a friend of a friend that his friend was growing but he had to get rid of everything because of his girlfriend. (which means word was definitely spreading) I stay very disconnected from these people, but wonder if it ended up being the same kid. It almost has to be.

Yeah, it's the cost and not the caution that's baffling. If it were really that bad, the cops that first searched the scene would be exposed to whatever is harmful in there. When was the last time we read a news article about a shroom grow-op being busted and any of the people exposed to the place being physically ill from anything pertaining to shrooms? I can't remember one. Ever.
@ Doc T, bygones. You apparently believe whatever one person says, and I'll stick to science. If P.cubensis spores are so toxic, why do you grow them?

what doc t is referring to is that fact that extended periods of time growing the same species of a mushroom will often cause the growers and or harvesters to develop a severe allergy to the spores of the species in question.

Yes, sensitization. It becomes incredibly difficult to avoid atopic allergic reactions since cubensis' main identified allergen is cyclophilin, which makes cross-reactivity something to worry about. Since a large percentage of spores in the air come from basidiomycota, it's likely any adult would have experienced some sort of allergic reaction that follows the cross-reactivity... like asthma for example.
The saddest part of the story is the fact that there's a child in the home. Children are much more susceptible to sensitization than adults.

The police had never seen a psilocybe grow-op before, nor is it likely that any of them were qualified to identify the equipment, spores, or product being grown at the house.
It was cheaper for them to take every precaution against personnel contamination than it would've been to face a wrongful death lawsuit had they neglected to properly shield the officers and, as a result, one or more of them had become ill or died.

It says it's an ongoing investigation and more arrests are expected so it sounds like the dude is telling too. And what the fuck man the cops have to know the girl obviously knew about this but only told cause she was mad, lock her the fuck up too.
All that aside I wonder which shroomerite this was, there was that one guy posting pictures of a room full of mono's......hhhmmmmm.

At least the asshole knew SOMETHING about mushrooms, that they are more complicated to grow then weed...
Fucking biosuits? That's ridiculous, though.

I can't grow marijuana for my life. Growing shrooms is eased then making a 3 layer cake.

I learned how to both very easily, but mushrooms take way more equipment. You can grow some grade A weed from seed with some dirt and fertilizers. And you don't have to mist and fan weed a couple times a day. The couple times I grew I took my little hike and watered them when needed and that was it.

this so funny, cause I often fail miserably growing shrooms. I get some to grow, sure.. but not as many as I fail..
cannabis, thats another story.

All those scenes are from a movie I watched the other day! I totally forget what it was called, but it was some UK movie where aliens invaded. The black kid murdered the first one to land and pissed all the bigger aliens off.
It was hilarious.

Attack the Block! Exclamation is part of it, I believe. It's got the chubby guy from Shaun of the Dead too.
Some day I also want to extract meth from my urine (It's been done) so that I can say "I'm so cold-blooded that I piss ice," and sing that song.

Never mentions how much mushies the lab produced. Wonder what it was. But comon, hazmat suites? Looks like the police did another great job of making things out to be a bigger deal then it really was. These guys were in terrible danger from the spores. They mighta sneezed if they got too close. Plus the birdseed probably cured. Fuck that girl btw. Cant hang out with bitches like that

Because this is the biggest bust they have done, they are probably just "pulling out all the stops."
@ wise toad, the movie is "Attack the Block." It was only ok. That song was the best part imo.

I bought a 150w HPS light for 70 bucks, some great compost for free, and I got a free seed. All I have to do is plug it in and I'll have at least a half oz in 3 months (autoflower)
Mushrooms though, I'm probably gonna fuck mine up.

Have fun sitting in jail for twenty years and getting raped by bubba. Clearly nobody here has an education related to safety. You don't ever trust what you 'think' you protect yourself first always. Nobody knows this kid and when you walk in to see a bunch of fungus you don't **** around. Better to be sure nobody can be harmed than to assume anything. Assumption gets you killed. Nobody knows if any of his operation had contamination in it either. Kid looks like a douche. How about you try and get a real job son.

“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

It's disturbing that some folks are overly focusing on the hazmat suits. That's obviously retarded, but it's even more mind-blowing and pathetic that men in uniforms can seize your life and throw you in a cage for growing a fungus. It's 100% insanity. It's no different from witch-burning or the Spanish inquisition.
So all the subsequent behavior shouldn't be a shock: the suits, the waste of tax dollars, the hyper-inflated journalism, etc.

Hazmat teams get called in for this stuff. They always wear suits. Come on, it's not like they are following level-4 containment procedures! This is their job and that's how the job is done. They can't know what the job requires until the job is done, so they take EXTRA precautions, as do we.
Laughing at them is like laughing at people who inoculate their substrate in a glovebox just because you can get away with doing it in an open room.

Apparently this is now "the largest bust in PA history"
Also, those suits are completely not needed. The most that would be needed for precaution is a surgical mask. There is absolutely no reason to protect your shoes, arms, legs, and hair from "mold spores"

Sad story. The guy fucked up, but so did the girl. I guess she didn't realize that when she ratted on him, she was ratting on herself.....since she lives there.....what a dipshit.
Should have just left it at assault.
Of course the idea that you can get locked up for growing a mushroom is ridiculous.
