No, that's the best case scenario.
Most likely he'll get charged with possesion of a controlled substance, manufacturing of a controlled substance and possesion of a control substance with intent to sell.
I live in one of the most conservative states in the south and it would be a slap on the wrist here. If he had no prior convictions he would be a shoe-in for pre-trial intervention and could get his slate wiped clean. I have seen much worse than a college kid trying to grow a couple grams of mushrooms get off the hook and thats with prior charges and a public defender. Why fear monger?
'Ol Miss maybe? I was surprised when I read the sticky.
I wish your bud all the best, maybe trich can be our friend here, but that would be a miracle (those do happen). Doc's right, wrong forum, but this is interesting and I would like to follow what happens.
Godspeed, and tell your buddy the same from the shroomerites.

Yeah, it sucks, but if they're raiding his house he's probably looking at much worse charges than mushroom cultivation.

They raided becauase his friend stole some cash from a place and ran into my friends house uninvited and my friend found him told him to get out and the cops where at the door, and then got a warrent
dont they have to keep the jars in an airtight evidence bag (they shouldnt continue growth right?), and since they where only a few days since injecting them with the syringe, and he just looked at them before they raided and it was just grain

How the hell did they show up at the door to get the guy who stole the money. And end up coming in and finding his jars? God do they have to thoroughly search the whole house even when they have their suspect. Whut teh fuckz man.

Cops can enter a house when in hot pursuit of a suspect. No warrant needed to enter a house that they seen a suspect run into.
But! I do believe that the porkers freeze evidence collected until it's able to be tested.

you might be on to something, there's no way, myc will rebound after a freeze. Also I agree cops can run right up in your house, if you have an idiot friend, who is also a thief, that runs up in your house, not giving a fuck what you have going on. That's the part that i find fucked. If my friend did this, I wouldn't let him in the door. And if he did get in, right before the pigs got there. I would make kick him out, let him go face his punishment. Why should I go down for a fucking thief? I don't steal for a living. I don't have much respect for thieves.

Wow, seems to me that their was some rights violated, Like our 4th amendment rights,of illegal search and seizure.I think your bro, needs an attorney. And to the thief that ran in the house.He Is going to have some series explaining to do to your friend. Maybe your friend will take piety on him, I doubt i would. But this shit really hits home. Think about it, you friend was doing a good thing. He was harming no one, and he viciously got ripped from his home, and they even took his good stuff. From one head to another, my heart goes out to him. This is the shit i keep in mind, when i go to vote for my local government officials.Remember we vote for our sheriff and our judges.This is the shit that will make me change my vote.It never hurts to go visit these judges and ask them if they plan to waste your tax dollars on incarcerating, non violent offenders. We voted last week, I did this to the judge i voted for. I made him tell me that I wanted to Know. He needs to know that some of us non violent criminals, vote. Hell maybe you should run for sheriff in your local town. And you can run on the platform, that you will stop wasting that towns, and the states tax dollars. You might be surprised to see, how many people back you up. Hell, if i lived in your town, i would vote for you.

if they had found some dirt in a clay pot, would they have seized it to see if perhaps marijuana seeds were in the soil?
of course not.
So what gives them the right to seize the jars on the off chance that an illegal species of mushroom is growing in it?
all mycelium looks the same. There was no evidence of illegal activity, therefore the seizure was illegal and should be thrown out.

Because they had probable cause, which means that it is more likely than not that a crime occurred. A random pot probably doesn't have pot growing in it, but a random jar that they find in a raid is likely to have some illegal mycelium.
This case is bad. Since there was a thief in the house, it will be hard to fight the warrant. Hopefully the jars will test negative for psilocybin. The test might take about 6 months. If it tests positive, OP will probably need to plea out, hopefully to probation.

Yea, the warrant is probably going to be hard to fight in this case. Your best hope is that evidence gets fucked up somehow, whether it be the jars getting infected or them fucking it up somehow (ie they open the jars, or freeze them (assuming it's true they have to keep it in the conditions it was found in)). If they open them, I would think you may be able to claim that there weren't any spores in them at the time they were seized, but they became "infected" with mushrooms spores at the time they were opened. It sounds like a long shot, but supposedly the prosecution has to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that you committed an illegal act. Mold spores, along with other types of spores, are constantly floating around in the air all around us. Like I said though, it's probably a long shot.
As for the books, were they regarding the cultivation of illegal mushrooms, or just mushrooms in general? Did they find any spores? I don't know if they can differentiate between spores of an illegal species and those that are legal.

I think if your brother got a lawyer, this part of the story would be most valuable in hopefully saving his ass. The man they were pursuing was arrested, so why go in and search without a warrant? Cops think they can just do whatever they want when they want.. it's ridiculous

This seems relevant:
If you are arrested, the police can search you and the area close by. If you are in a building, "close by" usually means just the room you are in.

well you have to pass through several locked doors to get anywhere in my house. i get those big heavy duty locks, because they have to have another warrant to pass through each lock, as long as they don't find probable cause, in the first room they get too. I also took the time to fortify my front door. If they came, i would go outside and lock the door behind me. then i would refuse to let them in without a warrant. and i would refuse to allow them in to any of the locked doores inside my house. which i even padlock my bathroom. just to add confusion. they use confusion as one of there main weapons, i do too.
