Portland cops bust mushroom growing operation
    #7869077 - 01/12/08 01:23 PM (16 years, 20 days ago)

"Portland police raided a home at 4511 N.E. Alberta St., Monday at 7 a.m. and discovered about 300 jars in the basement used to grow psychedelic mushrooms.

Police took a man and woman into custody for questioning. Police arrested Joshua Bortnick, 36, on accusations of first-degree manufacturing, possession and distribution of a controlled substance, and the same charges related to doing so within 1,000 feet of a school. He was also found in violation of a restraining order, including strangulation involving domestic violence, that is unrelated to the mushroom bust. The name of the woman and any accusations pending against her were not available.

Beat cops answering an apparently mis-dialed 9-1-1 call a week ago became suspicious when they responded to the address and spotted large quantities of bird seed and vermiculite, said Sgt. Stephanie Lourenco. The address had no prior calls for service, she said.

A mushroom growing operation is unusual for Portland police, she said, and officers spoke with other agencies, surfed the web for more information, then obtained a search warrant.

No fully-grown mushrooms were found in the home, she said, but many jars contained growth from spores that would eventually turn into a familiar mushroom configuration."
