Mushroom growing busts in UK

Hey All,
Just had a few questions to put to the community:
Does anybody known of a mushroom bust in the UK? What were the circumstances? ie small time home grower? proffesional criminal?
Are the police actively tracking down growers? ie in the way that they are searching out weed growers?
Does anybody know of the consequences such people have experienced as a result? ie prison time?
How would one rate the probabilities of getting caught and how would one try to minimise this?
I ask for purely informational purposes

How would they find you? Weed smells and uses massive electricity while also producing huge heat. Mushrooms do none of these things and take up less then 1/4 of the space of an average closet. There are people on here who grow under their beds.
The only ways I could see someone who is cautious getting caught is someone ratting on you or your house getting searched on an unrelated matter.
Most people don't have police in their house, ever, and most people don't tell rats about stuff like this, so most people don't get caught.

I read an article about it a long time ago. Someone got caught with a few PMP's and SGFC's. Im unsure on sentancing.
As Hashashin said, its pretty unlikely you will get caught. The only reasons I can see you getting caught, are if you are caught in a car/on foot with something and raided. Or if a nosey neighbour see's you carting numerous bags of Vermiculite/Coir/Rye etc. Again unlikely unless your getting pallet loads of the stuff in on a weekly basis!
Although slighlty unrelated, if it puts your mind at rest a FOAF got caught with £4000 in cash, 300 tabs of LSD, half oz of MDMA, half oz of cocaine, and about an oz of cannabis, and only got a 12 month sentance, suspended for 2 years... not bad going if you ask me!

I couldn't have put it any better myself.
