Canada: York police bust large magic mushroom lab, seize drugs worth almost $500,000

York Regional Police have dismantled a large illegal psilocybin mushroom lab — one of the largest they have uncovered — and seized drugs with a street value of almost $500,000.

Police say officers executed warrants at a residence in Hamilton and a rural property on Victoria Rd. S. in Puslinch on Oct 15.

In Hamilton, they say officers seized approximately 100 pounds of magic mushrooms and a quantity of cash, while locating a large manufacturing facility in Puslinch.

Investigators believe the lab is producing magic mushrooms for illegal commercial distribution across Ontario.

The probe began in August after a search warrant was executed at a Whitchurch-Stouffville home where a small clandestine lab in which the psilocybin mushrooms were being grown was located.

That discovery led police to a larger operation in Puslinch and the Hamilton area.
