"An Alachua woman with a house full of carefully cultivated mushrooms was arrested Wednesday night on drug possession and sale charges after authorities needed several trucks to haul off the mushrooms and growing supplies.

Keila Smith, 44, of 15704 NW 140th St., was arrested, said Alachua County sheriff's Sgt. Todd Kelly.

“There are multiple, multiple Rubber Maid containers full of small glass dishes with mushrooms growing in them,” Kelly said. “There are at least 1,000 of these containers. It took them four full-size trucks and vehicles to load all of the stuff that they seized from inside her house.”

Not appearing in the article was the alleged requirement that the donation (and donaters) had to be announced on T.V.

And people think this was an urban legend.
