A Manchester man has been arrested, accused of running a hallucinogenic drug factory from his home, according to police. 

Officers from the East Central Narcotics Task Force said they developed information that illegal drug activity was going on at Colton Perznaowski's apartment at 94 East Middle Turnpike.

When they executed their search warrant, they discovered what they call a Psilocybin Mushroom operation going on in the 21-year-old's bedroom. 

Psilocybin Mushrooms are also called "magic mushrooms."  Officers seized mushroom spores, lights and seven different growing "cakes."  A small amount of marijuana and other drug paraphernalia was also found.

Perznaowski was arrested and charged with several drug-related offenses.  He's being held on $75,000 bond.
