So you don't have proof the cops became involved... yet. Just the word of the people who will not return your deposit? This seems very fishy. You should definately look into it.

As Cyber said, the apartment people cannot consent to the search. If the apt people called the cops and they came and took your spores, you damn sure better fight them. If you don't have the money for an attourney, you still might be able to get one to take the case pro bono. If not, then call the ACLU. As much as I hate them, some of their causes are still honorable.
As I interpret this, this is most certainly an illegal search and seizure. You didn't consent to the search. They didn't serve you a warrant. They confiscated material without notification. Unfuckingbelievable! 
The fact you had edible cultures and spores with them should certainly strenghthen you case that your intentions weren't illegal.
In this case, the potential for vindication outways the potential for trouble in my opinion. I say fight the fucks.

And I'm not saying you are, but if you are using drugs, stop. If you decide to push this (or maybe even if not) you may required to submitt to drug testing. Prepare for hair and urine.
And for anyone who might need it... (Wash your hair with Aloe Rid by Nexus as many times as possible in the days or weeks leading up to it. And use the hair kits mean to thwart drug testing. I've witnessed two people I advised first hand that both beat their's, and been told by several more. As long as you been clean for a couple of weeks, drinking a shit load of water the day, and prior day, of testing is usually sufficient to appear clean. You can still use the kits for urinalysis if for nothing more than to color your pee-pee. )

Without a doubt fight it, get the ACLU with you if there's a problem. You've done nothing illegal, and to not fight it would be to let the drug warriors get away with an illegal search and seizure. Chances are you can get a good profit from it if you play your cards right also

Perhaps reporting the theft would be a first step? This could get ugly if you push it, but if you were not growing or selling anything illegal, you should be safe. If you were growing legal and can prove it, you will be ever better off. The fact that they took a lot of non-p cultures is a good thing... makes it difficult to show that you were intending to do something illegal. I would talk with a lawyer before I did much of anything, to be honest.

Technically it's not theft if his lease was over.
If his lease contract had expired, the owner or manager had the right to do whatever they wanted with that stuff. She could have, and should have just thrown it away.

Was your lease over or not?
If not I would consider getting a lawyer and charging her with theft.

actually, i was just thinking earlier today that not letting on i know they took my things and reporting a theft might be the best thing to do. maybe they will feel like asses once they discover that they have my spores.
i do grow legal mushrooms and this is very easy to prove. another guy and i grow most of the mushrooms found in the all the local restaurants and supermarkets. if i can prove that the police did take my gourmet cultures, then i think they will be pretty much fucked. technically, those cultures belong to my business, since i am paid to produce cultures, then spawn for the farm. if i don't have my cultures, i can't produce the spawn.
i am a biology/mycology student and i actually do occasionally view spores on a scope. i can prove that i have multiple legit reasons to own psilocybe spores, not that i should have to since they are 100% legal for anyone to own in this state.

no, i did not get my deposit back. that is why i went to their office the other day. they had been charging me with all these b.s. charges. when i protested the charge, they removed it and replaced it with a higher charge. they did this three times, so i went up to the office to find out what the deal was. then they said the root reason i wasn't getting my deposit back is because they found my "drugs." there was nothing else in the fridge for me to be forgetting about and the things in the fridge were about all that was left in the apt. as soon as i get a lawyer who will take the case pro bono, i'm going up there.

Should not need pro bono . Should be able to find a lawyer to take on a contengency fee , this is most likely a fraud by the apartment co . In most states renters have some amazing rights becouse of abusive land lords . And since you produce spawn for local legal grown mushrooms those cultures were worth a considerable amount . Get legal counsil might not hurt to look in your state for Lawyer that NORML recommends .
