Treasure Coast Mushrooms is published by the team behind the Dutch smartshop Dutch-Smart. Dutch-Smart sells the Treasure Coast grow kit and spores shown on this site, and every product link goes to that shop. When you buy through such a link, the shop earns from the sale.
We say this first because it affects how you read the rest. The site exists because most of what is online about this cultivar repeats the same few lines, sometimes with the coast on the wrong side of Florida. We wanted one place that keeps the shipwreck history, the wild mushroom and the cultivar apart, gives sources, and says plainly what is not known: that nobody can name the original collector, that no lab has measured the cultivar, and that Florida itself banned selling spores in 2025.
How the pages are made
- History comes from NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory and other public sources; the wild records from herbarium specimens published through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.
- Chemistry and genetics come from peer-reviewed studies, each linked where we use it.
- Legal statements come from the Florida Statutes, the Florida Supreme Court, US federal regulations, Dutch, British and German legislation and the Trimbos Institute. Every legal page carries the date it was checked.
- Shop descriptions are quoted as Dutch-Smart's descriptions and marked as such.
- We do not publish invented testimonials, reviews or experiences.
- We make no medical or health claims of any kind, and we give no dosage instructions.
Pages show when they were last updated. Laws change and products sell out; if something here is wrong or out of date, Dutch-Smart's customer service can pass it on to us.
