That really fucking sucks, and I feel for you. Nobody should go to jail for reproducing nature.
That being said, rule #1 is tell nobody. And that means people that used to live in your balls or people that you inseminated. I hate that you have to deal with this, but I hope anyone else reading this will take it to heart and realize that you can only trust you with your safety. Maybe your story can keep a dozen anons from going to jail.

I didn't tell them. I guess my son could smell it through the room and when he told his mother I am sure she convinced him to take the pics and because she is a spiteful bitch she called the police. There was a tiny smell from the grow room but I never imagined in a million years that my son would ever do something like this to his own father. I also have three small kids ages 3, 2, and 8 months, I got married about 6 years ago, that were placed in a foster home, someone they knew thank God, because the lead detective said that mushroom spores produce very toxic spores that spread through the house and that was endangering their lives. And now they can't even prove that they were illegal. We wife got our kids back about a month ago but I have had to move out of the house, I took full responsibility for the whole thing, and for the time being am living in a 300 square foot apartment until DHHS says I can be trusted to be back in the home. My wife is a nurse and has never done a drug or even had a speeding ticket in her whole life but they took her to jail and plastered us all over the local news only to drop all the charges against her. Absolute nightmare, for 4 plants. That's all I had. Just enough for me to not have to buy anything from anybody. Stuffs getting so expensive these days. Never sold a single gram of it to anyone. But you are correct in saying you never know who will snitch you out. But God damn, my own fucking son.

There would be no point in identifying the species because the species aren't illegal. They would test for psilocybin/psilocin and colonizing jars and LCs generally contain none.

Don't you just love when police make shit up and pretend they know what they're talking about.

I think they did test them for Psilocybin. I believe they just came negative, which is interesting as I have read on here several times that colonized jars contain this chemical, as well as some techs that claim to be able to extract Psilocybin from colonized jars. There is no way they did not attempt to test a sample. It just had to come back negative.

It's possible to extract psilocynin from the mycelium but the mycelium doesn't start producing it until pinning begins.

Kizzles right, this happened with PF.
The mycelium is legal until it is a container of psilocybin or if the conspiracy to attempt to manufacture psilocybin from the mycelium is made. If using a large enough potassium deficiency or extending the trophophase to prevent secondary metabolites i believe the mycelium of cubensis could be handled legally 
If they are mature you are done for, if they are young you are technically within your legal limits as a hobbyist mycologist.
This is why scientists and not politicians should be in charge of public health law.
As not your lawyer i advise you to stick to gourmet/medicinal species and going hunting or to a phish concert for your specialized needs
