Burke County investigators said they discovered an illegal mushroom-growing operation Thursday at the home of a Hildebran man they were arresting on unrelated drug charges.
Officers with the Burke County Narcotics Task Force went to the South Center Street home of Kyle Brandon Moore to serve grand jury indictments stemming from a 2005 case.
When they entered the home, they found psilocybin mushrooms in an early growth stage, plus marijuana and drug paraphernalia, according to a Sheriff's Office news release.
Moore, 21, was arrested, charged with manufacturing mushrooms and jailed under $50,000 bond. He had his first court appearance Friday on the mushroom charge.
