BERKELEY, CA — Berkeley Police stumbled upon a large scale psychedelic mushroom processing operation Saturday night. They seized 677 pounds of mushrooms with an estimated street value of over $1 million dollars, along with over $3000 in cash and additional evidence which indicated the scope of the sales operations.

Just 10 p.m. police received a call about a domestic disturbance between a boyfriend and girlfriend on the 1700 block of Alcatraz Avenue. When officers arrived, the couple initially refused to open the door to the house.

The pair were persuaded to come out and were detained. Officers went inside the house to look for additional victims, suspects or occupants. In plain view were psilocybin mushrooms in various stages of cultivation as well as storage and distribution materials.
