SUSPECTED PSILOCYBE MUSHROOM SPORES

SUSPECTED PSILOCYBE MUSHROOM SPORES IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN The DEA North Central Laboratory (Chicago, Illinois) recently received three glass vials containing a clear solution, suspected Psilocybe mushroom spores in water. The exhibits were originally contained in three syringes, and were purchased in Detroit, Michigan by agents from the DEA Detroit Division (details withheld in accordance with Microgram policy). The total net weight and volume of the samples was 35.9 grams (40.0 milliliters). A growth cycle was initiated for all three samples in order to determine whether or not Psilocybe mushrooms could be produced. A standard underground procedure was used (obtained from an Internet site; details withheld in accordance with Microgram policy). Mycelium growth was observed after about 3 weeks; however, only two small mushrooms grew (which were harvested after 78 days). Analysis of methanolic extracts of the two mushrooms by GC/MS indicated no controlled substances, suggesting that the mushrooms were not Psilocybe mushrooms. It is unclear whether the sale was a scam, or if the solution was contaminated during the transfer from the syringes to the vials, or if there was some other unknown problem with the solution or cultivation procedures. This is the first time that a mushroom grow has been performed at the North Central Laboratory.

I fail to see where a crime was committed. Spores aren't illegal in MI.

send the to the archive... I'm sure they can figure out what went wrong with the pf tek there. then what. why was the government trying to cultivate mushrooms. is there an intra entra state law. and I'm sure the reason the shrooms they got weren't psy was cause contamination. i repeat fing noobs
edit: 2005? probably experts now with my tax money funding it

OHHh its ok for THEM to grow it but not us. and what if an active spore "accidently" flys into the sample and a active mushroom happen to grow? would it be the guys fault? maybe he bought shiitake.

Kinda sux though. It brings light upon spore business which are only operating through one hell of a loop hole. Sooner or later that loop hole will be patched up.
 That op freaked me out before I finished it çuz I've been waiting for 3 s.s. For like a month. Lol

Probably rumor. I haven't heard anybody before you mention it and usually that sort of news is a pretty big deal around here.

I suspect incompetence as the other "unknown problem". I spent a summer working as an intern in a city police forensics lab when I was in high school. The people working there could follow a script, but if you gave them a new problem, such as finding their way out of a paper bag, they were lost.
For example... had they done a spore print from one of their two fruitbodies, they could have compared original spores to new spores to see if they had contamination or not. It would have also helped identify the species of mushroom grown.

yeah, Spore print is the only sure way to identify. Scares the heck out of me thinking a forensics lab could miss something like that. I do not know how how another mushroom spore affected the supposed psilocybe spores. I can remember previous posts where people had syringes that contained multiple strains of psilocybe, and the different varieties all fruited, and where Idenitified.

This isn't exactly common but has been done before. I don't remember where I found articles but I read of two where cops found pot clones and let them grow to maturity and charged them with the entire plant weight. The same site also had an article about someone getting busted growing shrooms and they apparently hadn't beed picked so they weighed the entire thing, substrate and all. One hell of a way to inflate a charge.
