It was I'm guessing he had some growing in a few monotubs, and they weighed the mycelium or something. that kind of amount doesn't just pop up all at once.





it says right in the article 160lbs of processed mushrooms in 320 vaccumm bags. 160/320 = 1/2lb per bag. It IS very possible. It doesn't mention any type of grow op; they surely would've mentioned that.

Using hpoo, it wouldn't be that hard to grow 20 lbs a month for 8 monthes, then stop.

and pounds can easily be sold for $2500. 2500*160 = 400k. Their figure isn't THAT exaggerated.

And to all the haters, YES, there IS a market in the USA for 160lbs of mushrooms. With over 300 million citizens in this country, it's not really that much.

I don't know, I just can't imagine somebody producing and distributing that much mushrooms.

Well that is a large amount of mushrooms, it's not that unbelievable.

That's roughly 20,000 doses (a dose = an eighth).

In a place like California, that could go pretty quick.

an 1/8 is also a heavy dose. Lots of casual users eat maybe a gram or two or split an 8 between 3 people.

Vacuum sealing is generally used for long term storage. I use this method with my personal stash. One grow a year is all i need for me personally. My guess is that some of those mushies are pretty old.

whomever said that there isn't the market to move that many mushies is obviously ill-informed of the demand for psychadelics in certain parts of the country...

there are most certainly very large scale, illegal mushroom growing operations out there.. just like pot. Multiple houses, multiple grows, crewed up..

sounds like this guy died outside a storage house right after a harvest and before the product could be moved.. unlucky for the people involved.

Maybe he wanted to do a thumbprint but didn't have any acid

that'd be cool... extract psilocybin crystals, do a hand print or something. i was gonna try to figure out the math to see how many grams of psilocybin crystals you would need but im too lazy right now. plus who knows what that would do to you. might not ever come down.
