Chatham-Kent police have raided a FunGuyz psilocybin mushroom store that opened on King Street West in Chatham, Ont., a few days prior.
Officers who had a warrant to search the property seized more than 370 packages of psilocybin, worth over $20,000, police said in a media release on Thursday.
No arrests have been made at this point.
