Cops busted a trio of dealers suspected of selling psychedelic mushrooms in Brooklyn, netting law enforcement more than 250 pounds of funky fungi, authorities said Friday.

Three defendants were charged with possession of a controlled substance in the sting, which targeted a Sheepshead Bay grow house.

It took $2 million worth of psychedelic mushrooms off the streets, according to Acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.

Vitali Yaromin, 50, of Sheepshead Bay, Nikita Medvedev, 26, of Staten Island and Maksym Lyushnenko, 47, of Sheepshead Bay were arrested Friday.

Their arraignments on charges of second- and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia were pending Friday night in Brooklyn Criminal Court.

They face up to 10 years in prison on the top count if convicted.

The bust required a joint effort from New York’s Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and NYPD and state police, said Gonzalez.

The three men were arrested after law enforcement agents seized more than 250 pounds of psychedelic mushrooms and more than $30,000 in cash from two locations in Sheepshead Bay.

“This investigation exposed and dismantled a massive psychedelic mushroom grow house, keeping hundreds of pounds of this illegal and dangerous drug off the streets,” said Gonzalez.

The home-grown mushrooms were sold for a few hundred dollars an ounce, according to officials.

The first place agents raided was a private house on E. 13th St.

Detectives seized more than 200 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms a.k.a. psychedelic mushrooms, more than $30,000 in cash, more than 300 gift cards, one ounce of marijuana, and bank records, officials said.

At the second location, a private house on E. 11th St. in Sheepshead Bay, more than 50 pounds of psychedelic mushrooms, $400 cash and a 2007 Lexus 350 SUV were seized, agents said.

That's probably everything they had right there, they just threw the mason jars on the scales.

I agree.  They charge stack to make the suspect look bad and the police look 'good'.

poor lads

They mentioned they seized bank records from the first house raided.

Willing to bet they didnt understand the 7,500 flag limit on total income reported a year rules /laundering in general.

The gift card thing is sketch to imo. if there names and SS number activated. The feds/Po are pretty aware of why you may have 10 different registered gift cards or re loadable gift cards.

Still though... poor lads

Ah ha!

I want to know where they came up with the $2 million value. Who ever is paying a few hundred an ounce is getting ripped off.

damn that's sad :frown:

I hope to see mushrooms legal one day.

They will exaggerate the situation! They caught me growing with an ounce and a half dry and acted like it was a big game growing operation. They did admit the mushrooms were probably good because I had dried rice and o2 absorbers in the bag.They probably even accounted for that!
