Police find mushroom grow at Tampa house 1

July 9, 2015
Deputies investigating a burglary in Tampa discovered a grow house of a different sort on Wednesday.
Instead of marijuana plants, the home at 3450 Palencia Drive #2304 was used to grow psychedelic mushrooms.
The mushrooms were being grown in special bins inside the home.
Deputies discovered the grow house when they were conducting a neighborhood survey and found a smashed, rear sliding glass door, according to a release from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Florida is known for its bizarre inhabitants. From the infamous "zombie" attack to the crack-smoking woman who burned down The Senator, here are some of the strangest stories.
While clearing the home, deputies found the bins containing the psilocybin mushrooms, the release said.
Deputies got a search warrant for the home and found 63.9 pounds of mushrooms being grown, 29.9 grams of loose mushrooms, 35.9 grams of marijuana, four glass pipes with residue, a scale, $3,220 in cash and a 12-gauge shotgun, the release said.
Timothy Lizardi, 25, was arrested and faces charges of manufacturing a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Lizardi was taken to Orient Road Jail where he was being held on $7,000 bond.

They obviously weighed containers and substrates. Who keeps 69 pounds lying around?

I refused a house search when someone called the cops on me one time, because I know they trash the house.

And they needed to search the bins to make sure a burglar wasn't hiding in them or what?

We have a lawyer on this site to go into detail but as I understand it if cops see evidence of a crime such as this they are allowed to look inside to check for perps and make sure everyone is ok.
This is why you have locks on the outside of your growrooms accessible only to you. Lets say robber breaks into your house and cops run in searching for him. They can search your house but if you have a door that locks from the outside in you can refuse them the right to search that room but not the rest of your unlocked house since it would have required you and not the robber to lock it. They then now know that your growing weed but cant arrest you until they break open your grow room lock and say it was "open when I found it"
I think Barry Cooper goes into this a bit not sure though Im pulling up really old memories plus I was high when i watched his videos.
TLDR- sturdy locks on all growrooms so this doesnt happen to you

Growing mushrooms in itself is not evidence of a crime and sitting inside a bin is hardly plain site.
But I'm sure the police will claim they're expert mushroom identifiers or that they can smell if a mushroom contains psilocybin or some other BS. Just as they did here

Damn that's some bad luck for that guy, but he has a chance in court. A better chance then if they had been targeting him and found it.

They didn't charge him with any weapon violations? Thought it was illegal to have firearms and narcotics in the same house?

I think it's odd he has such a low bond amount. Possession of controlled substance alone is usually 10- 15,000$. Hard to believe a manufacturing charge on top of all other charges would result in only a 7,000$ bond.

The Gunshine State is not the worst state to be accused of a crime that's for sure
The Gunshine state's "catch and release program" works very well too
