WLEX

State police say they have stopped counting after the discovery of over 8,000 illegal mushrooms being grown inside a Pulaski County home.

Police say they were investigating the report of a meth lab at a home on Tank Pond Spur Road in the Eubank community in Pulaski County when they discovered the psilocybin mushrooms in the home of Keith Clark, 45.

Police said Friday afternoon that they have stopped counting after about 70% of the mushrooms were counted.

Clark is charged with second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance. He is being held in the Pulaski County Detention Center.
