Law enforcement officials came across a staggering find after being tipped off about possible drug-dealing: dozens of dog-food-size bags of psychedelic mushrooms worth an estimated $8.5 million at a home in rural Connecticut.

    It’s actually a lie. The dog food sized bags comment.

    The dry mushrooms are in large ziplock bags. The bags they’re growing in hold five pounds of substrate and water.

    I grow edible mushrooms in those same bags. They’re not anywhere close to dog food bags.

      Yeah, I was picturing the big 40lb dog food bags. Those look like 20lb of dog food at most in the big ones. It’s not useful at best, and misleading at worst. If they had just said “2.5gal plastic bags” (which is exactly what the purple zipper ones are, 2.5gal Hefty freezer bags) it would have been far more useful, because not only is it accurate, it’s more familiar to more people.
