> Tehama Inter-agency Drug Enforcement agents found 160 pounds of processed psilocybin, or hallucinogenic, mushrooms
Without pictures to know for certain, this could be the weight of jars, lids, casing material, etc. The term "processed psilocybin mushrooms" is pretty vague.

340 individual bags of a half pound each would be hard to sell, like I said, there just isn't a market for large amounts of mushrooms.
This probably explains a lot.

if he individually wrapped up half pounds, i guess he was just selling half pounds. not really a large amount (at once). the fact that he vacuumed sealed them, just goes to show he knew he'd probably be keeping them for awhile or was planning on shipping them. he could sell a pound or two a month and that'd be a lot of extra income.
probably grew them like crazy and harvested them as he went just stocking up. (doubt he picked them) then got rid of his grow (less charges right) or he could have just been a middle man or had his grow somewhere else and started selling. he also had packaging materials and they were vacuume sealed... maybe he was shipping them all over the states?? (i know a guy in tennessee who gets pot in the mail from humboldt county)
i'd say there is a definate market for them. in my area you can't get them right now, and quarter elbows go for $500

where the fuck did he grow that many mushrooms, in his house?? Man another example of where doing something sooo stupid (growing a 50$ pot plant in your backyard) leads to 50 years in prison. If you are going to have any kind of crazy operation going..... BE COVERT

It was covert. The guy had to DIE, for it to revealed.
$500,000 worth of mushrooms seems a bit exaggurated. 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.
He had to have been storing them. He might have been extremely sentimental on the other hand.
Some people really like their mushrooms. They want to save their previous grows, and revisit them later. We really can't say anything until we know what this guy was like.
But damn, all those mushrooms...

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.

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.

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.

Which is $195 an ounce. You have to realize the the police in California don't take into count the price for pounds because they don't know the price break, but they have a good price for ounces. So really what they are doing isn't intentional or ignorant, they just don't get enough mushrooms distributation cases that involves pounds and pounds to get an estimate. I CAN tell you though a fair price for a pound in the bay area is about $2000. So times 160 lbs is $320,000. But I am sure when you buy 160lbs you are going to give a price break when selling it 10-30 lbs at a time. So it's probably closer to half than the estimated value, but like I said before. You can't really blame them because they don't have information to correctly base estimates.

15mg-20mg is a good dosage for psilocybin crystals if I remember correctly.

we're talking about in relation with lsd thumbprint dosages. like insane dosages. add a bunch of 0s to that estimate.

I think that is far too expensive - In the bay area, ounces usually go for just under $100 individually and I have seen pounds go for 700 - 1000, usually around 850.
