Did meth heads ruin my morel patch?

So today I hit my favorite morel spot and found a few.

Then about 10 yards later I find about 50-60 of these.

Shake and bake meth I assume?
How fucked are the morels from here now?

Normally when I find distorted soda bottles in the woods it is from kids making draino bombs, a pass time I myself once enjoyed. But these do look different. Not sure what the effects would be from the chemicals leeching into the soil. Or whether it may impact the mushrooms and/or their edibility. It probably depends on the specific chemicals used. I don't know how meth is made or what chemicals are used.

Bad stuff from what I read. Ammonium nitrate , lye , lithium strips frm batteries.
I already ate a few from these patches three or four days ago before I found that crap and I'm not dead yet but nervous.
Should I tell the epa or authorities?

Personally I would alert the authorities, they know how to clean up after that sort of thing, they would probably tell you not to eat the mushrooms just erring on the side of caution, which in this case is probably a good thing.
As long as nothing looks like it exploded the contamination may be relatively low. There is a hole it looks like in one of them, not sure if that is part of the process or if something fucked up. Morels are known to accumulate arsenic from apple orchards so it is wise to be wary. Perhaps have the mushrooms tested for contaminants if you know someone who can do that sort of thing.

Yes, alert the authorities to this bullshit. If they're dumb enough to dump that shit out there they may have been dumb enough to leave a viable print on it. Even if a print isn't enough to arrest someone, they can start watching them until they slip up.
Fuck tweakers, should have open season on them year round.

Do not touch the bottles (obviously). That shit can explode.

i went to the local police department and told them what i found and mostly all they said was why were you hiking out there and how far was it from the road.
the only people i know of that could test them would be a kind person on here.
any tips on how to inform the EPA? im also thinking about calling a local tv station that loves this kind of thing.
i just got the feeling the cops didnt want to help much at all. like it was some big inconvenience to them.
im going back to get my own pics of the scene. the bottles i posted are just random google pics i found just to get the point across. there are tons of them. they are all down hill of where i found the morels maybe that would help them not hold any toxins?
im just so :butthurt: right now.

Maybe try calling your local DNR office?
They take that stuff a little more seriously, especially in that large quantity.
They may be able to phone someone who can help further.

My car got broken into this week. Took some stuff but did a really sloppy job and didnt find anything of interest. Except a GPS.
anyways I talk to the cops, I literally got this answer. "What would you like us to do about it?"
If you saw the people in mid-cook, im surr they wouldda asked you a buncha worthwhile questions. But without any immediate suspects, they wont play detective.

Well karma was good to me today. I found many more at another patch.

Now to get the river cleaned up at the other place. I still would appreciate any tips on who to call.

Not a bad idea, cops not seeming to care too much about a meth operation. I mean sure it may be difficult to catch the responsible party, but I would suspect they would probably be back at some point, wouldn't be a bad idea for the cops to keep an eye out on that area in the future. From what I understand this shake and bake method is far more dangerous than a traditional style lab. Because, well look at it, mixing caustic shit together in two liter bottles... not a good idea to anyone who is not on meth.

I think the morels are fine.
I suggest bringing a trash bag and taking the bottles and throwing them away. If they feel like they are about to explode, don't touch them. But just bottles that were used to cook meth won't be that toxic.

You would be my hero if you cleaned it up, If you choose to clean up that area wear some good gloves, any leaking bottles could be not only toxic but corrosive.
