SHARON, Pa. — The owner of a Meek Street house is accused of growing mass quantities of hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Sharon Police Chief Mike Menster said officers stumbled upon the large growing operation by accident when they showed up at the house at 1:10 a.m. Thursday after a tip that a stolen laptop computer was inside.

There was no stolen laptop, but they did find more than 100 Mason jars containing hallucinogenic mushrooms, he said.
