A Florida native with a well-deserved reputation for good behaviour. Treasure Coast is one of those wild-collected lines that turned out to domesticate beautifully — fast, rhizomatic colonisation, enthusiastic pinning, and flushes generous enough to make it a genuine contender alongside the big beginner-friendly names. It's forgiving of the odd wobble in conditions and quick enough to reward you before you've had time to worry.
Fruits run to the tall and slender side, with fine stems and caps in pale gold through to warm tan, often keeping a neat conical shape rather than flattening fully. The look is graceful rather than beefy — this one goes for numbers, and a good tub comes up crowded.
Something to keep in mind: Treasure Coast is well known for occasionally throwing albino or leucistic fruits — pale, ghostly specimens that appear now and again within an otherwise normal flush. It's a natural quirk of the line rather than a fault, and growers have selected for it over the years, which is how the Albino Treasure Coast strain came into being. If you spot one, you've found one of the gems that the strain is quietly famous for.
A little history: the name points to Florida's Treasure Coast — the stretch of Atlantic shoreline around Vero Beach and Fort Pierce, named for a Spanish fleet wrecked there in 1715. The strain comes from wild spores gathered in the cattle pastures of that region, and it entered circulation through hobbyist networks in the 1990s. Who collected it and precisely when has never been documented with any confidence, which puts it in good company. What's certain is that the local climate — warm, humid, thick with grazing land — has been producing wild Psilocybe cubensis far longer than anyone has been writing it down.
Storage: Keep your spores refrigerated, not frozen, from the moment you receive them. Pop them in the fridge straight away, and they’ll happily keep for a couple of months and, in perfect conditions, even for years.
Remember: All our products are sold for microscopy purposes ONLY; do not try to grow mushrooms with any of our products; that would be illegal and very naughty. While I have your attention on this matter, it is very surprising to learn how many naughty people there are out there. No judging, but I cannot answer any questions about growing mushrooms. It doesn’t matter if you live somewhere where growing is legal; I still won’t answer any questions – please don’t ask. However, if you do ask me naughty questions, I will unfortunately have to add you to my banned list, and you will be unable to enjoy any of my lovely products. I will also inform Santa about your naughty behaviour and ask him to put you on his naughty list – that’s now Christmas stuffed. So please, no naughty questions.
Don’t Forget:
Keep them in a cool, dark place; about 5’c is nice
Keep the product in a clean and tidy place
Don’t let the product get hot
Don’t let them freeze
Don’t let them become dusty or dirty
