A Brighton man was arraigned this morning in district court after an alleged drug laboratory was discovered in his apartment on Surrey Street yesterday.

Michael Siciliano, 33, pleaded not guilty to two counts of possession of methamphetamine and Ecstasy, and one count of possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms. The Boston Police Drug Control Unit and federal drug enforcement agents also found evidence of drug manufacturing and distribution when they searched the apartment, authorities said.

A District Court judge set bail at $30,000 cash and ordered Siciliano to return to court on Dec. 16 for a pretrial hearing.
