Treasure Coast Spores
Psilocybe cubensis strain profile, reviewed June 2026
Treasure Coast is a variety of Psilocybe cubensis collected for microscopy and research. A cubensis originally collected along Florida's Treasure Coast, well known among microscopists for frequently producing leucistic (low-pigment) fruit bodies.
| Common name | Treasure Coast |

Under the microscope
Under the microscope, Psilocybe cubensis spores are dark purple-brown, subellipsoid to ellipsoid, roughly 11.5 to 17 microns long by 8 to 11 microns wide, each with a distinct broad germ pore. Spore morphology is consistent across cubensis varieties, so strains are distinguished by provenance and the phenotype of the fruit body rather than by the spores alone. The spores themselves contain no psilocybin, which is why they are legal to study for microscopy and research in most U.S. states.
