A Eureka man is accused of operating a psilocybin mushroom grow operation in his home.

Zachary Luther Davis, 38, is charged with two felonies, criminal production and manufacture of dangerous drugs and criminal possession of dangerous drugs.

He is jailed in the Lincoln County Detention Center on $50,000 bail.

Davis was arrested at his home Oct. 9 on Therriault Creek Road by county deputy Bo Pitman. 

In the probable cause statement, Pitman wrote that law enforcement had information that Davis was growing psilocybin mushrooms. The officer got a warrant to search the property and found 18.7 grams of the illegal mushrooms.

Pitman said Davis allegedly admitted the mushrooms were psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms. 

Pitman said he and other officers located what they believed to be a mushroom grow operation in the upstairs of the garage. They contacted the Northwest Drug Task Force and sent photos to it. Officials determined it was a cultivating/manufacturing operation.

A conviction for criminal production or manufacture of dangerous drugs may result in a maximum 25-year term in the Montana State Prison. A conviction on the possession charge may result in a 5-year prison term.
