California-based Golden Gourmet Mushrooms is an interesting company with some appealing offerings. I guess business just wasn’t good enough for the company president though. He was recently sentenced to 13 months in prison for customs violations involving the import of mushrooms from Japan. See Mushroom importer gets prison for evading customs by Anne Krueger.

The president of a San Marcos mushroom-importing company has been sentenced to 13 months in prison after pleading guilty to evading customs duties on the mushrooms his firm imported from Japan. Craig Robert Anderson, president of Golden Gourmet Mushrooms Inc., was also ordered Friday to pay a $6,000 fine and serve a year of home detention after his time in custody.

There is no mention of it at the Golden Gourmet Mushrooms website.
