Police find 2,300 jars of hallucinogenic mushrooms spores [OR]

Police find 2,300 jars of hallucinogenic mushrooms spores
Associated Press
June 14, 2006 - oregonlive.com

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A Eugene man was arrested this week after police found Mason jars containing enough spores to produce 10-15 pounds of hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Steven Closson, 25, was charged with the unauthorized manufacturing of psilocybin mushrooms, police said.

Because the growing operation was so large, authorities said Closson may not have been living in the home where the almost 2,300 Mason jars were discovered. The spores would be able to produce the mushroom crop every 40 days or so, police said.

Eugene Police Sgt. Jerry Webber said a pound of dried mushrooms can sell for up to $500. Webber said the drug is pervasive in Oregon and authorities in several southern states have recently intercepted packages of mushrooms coming from Eugene.

Confusing...

Presumably he didn't even have any mycelia - did they charge him only on the spores and cultivation equipment? Or is the reporter just retarded?

Someone on another forum said their local news claimed 2,300 'hits' of mushrooms.

People just see a number and fill in whatever drug related idea comes to mind.

Damn, maybe he can hook me up - that's less than 1/3rd of what I can get them for!

> Jars full of spores

But if the jars are only big enough to hold one spore, then really, that isn't a lot of spores. I heard that mushroom spores are pretty dangerous and can lodge in your brain and you start growing mushrooms in your head and then you can't stop tripping until you finally die while tripping. You can make little grenades this way when you put a spore in a jar. I bet he is a terrorist. Maybe we should bomb some random country. (Sarcasm, for the confused.)

is the basidiocarp life cycle that hard to understand? it's a shame reporters pretty much never seem to get it right. spores != mycelia. come on now reporters. do some research.

2,300 jars of hallucinogenic mushrooms spores = enough spores to produce 10-15 pounds

must have been some shitty spores. poor guy had shitty spores and he got busted, sucks to be him.

Interestingly I saw a tv shoot of the bust and the jars were one quarter ounce jars. That is pretty stupid. That would hardly yield anything.

Unless he had some system where they were going to be used as spawn or something.

either you are being snidely humorous or you are just as confusing as the article.

where i come from mason jars are classed by volume and said volume is imperial in nature.
now an ounce can be a volume. an fluid ounce of water is 1/8 of a cup. a 1/16 of a pint.

the smallest jars i am aware of are 1/8 pint jars. the most common beginner mushroom jar is th 1/4 pint, to which i assume you are referring.

or maybe the guy was using really small jars.

Yeah, they certainly fucked up on their overpricing of drugs in news articles this time huh?

I'm sure it was a typo. You'll see a correction in tomorrow's paper saying they meant to say $5000 :lol:

Wow, good post. MJ, we can all deal with your barely comprehensible grammar and spelling, but at least try to make the content somewhat understandable. Was the person literally using 1/64th pint jars? Where does one even buy those?
