Man busted for growing mushrooms...Shiitake mushrooms.

Attorney: Mushrooms recovered from house are delicacy, not illegal

WALTERBORO — The attorney representing a man charged with trafficking hallucinogenic mushrooms said he believes tests will show that they are actually legal and edible Shiitake mushrooms.

Walterboro Attorney Scott Harvin said his client, 30-year-old Edward V. Spearman, turned himself in to Walterboro police Thursday on the trafficking charges authorities filed against him after they say they found Psilocybin mushrooms growing in a lab inside his Warren Street home.

Harvin said he and his client expect the test results to show they are actually an edible and legal delicacy. He said a liquid recovered from the house was actually a home-brewed beer.

Walterboro police say they responded to a call about suspicious activity at the house about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. They entered the open door and saw marijuana out in the open. Officers then got a warrant to search the house and found evidence of a lab used to grow the hallucinogenic mushrooms, according to an incident report.

Police contacted the State Law Enforcement Division’s newly formed Joint Enforcement Team (JET) that targets drug organizations and violent crime activities across the state. The team confirmed the grow facility and, along with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, investigated and seized lab equipment and large quantities of mushrooms in various growth stages.

Harvin said he has questions about the legality of the search but can’t comment on it until he sees the affidavit. He declined comment about the marijuana.

Hahahahahahaha. Shiitakes and home-brewed beer. I love it. I hope it's true, for his sake at least.

The man probably has a legitimate case regarding the search.
...Depending on what the snitch of a neighbor told the cops.
Regardless of what he said, I still think authorities had no business on his property let alone to search. He could realistically get the cannabis dropped.
And if they're shittake..good for him

Wonder if they have to repay him, for the lost Shiitake mushrooms. Wouldnt he get to set the price, not only for the ones he had but the future ones that they messes up. Just wondering

He could try but I bet anyone here 2500 dollars that he never sees a penny from those pigs.

I'd say "drop the pot charges and I'll drop the civil lawsuit."

Then they'd tase me and write a police report describing how I tried to take the cops gun and kill innocent children.

I bet this one gets thrown out - I thought it was questionable why a search was done in the first place.

There's too much room for the police to lie.

Who says the door was open?  Even if it was, who says they smelled or saw marijuana?

A bunch of individuals that have been TRAINED to lie said it, that's who.

The fact that police are again, TRAINED to lie provides a SERIOUS conflict of interest in regards to putting police in the courtroom at all or relying upon their word to convict and imprison individuals.  Really it's illogical and unjust at the very root.

They have no business being able to do anything but collect evidence.

He isn't getting a penny from the cops. Will be interesting to see what happens.

I always thought that police are trained not to lie.


What makes you think that police training tells them to lie?

Cops are decent people, I don't care what any of the kids on this board say.

Are there bad cops? Sure.
Are all cops bad? No way.

Will good cops cover bad cops asses?

You bet your ass they will.  They need job security too.

To the bit about cops being trained to lie- they don't need to be.  It comes with the job description.
