Origin:
Tampanensis Georgia, also known as “Philosopher’s Stone,” is a rare strain first discovered near Tampa, Florida. It stands out for producing both fruiting bodies and sclerotia—dense, underground formations that offer unique research opportunities in functional fungi studies.

Cultivation:
Tampanensis Georgia is relatively easy to cultivate, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced cultivators. It thrives in stable, humid environments, with sclerotia taking longer to develop than fruiting bodies, but requiring less hands-on maintenance.

Strength:
Tampanensis Georgia is valued for its ability to promote mindfulness and creativity, offering a balanced and introspective experience. The sclerotia, in particular, provide a unique and subtle sensory experience, distinct from typical fruiting bodies.

Appearance:
The fruiting bodies feature caramel-colored caps and slender white stems that can bruise blue when handled. The sclerotia, which grow underground, are compact and nut-like in appearance, adding a distinctive element to this strain.

Historical Significance:
First documented in 1977 by mycologist Steven Pollock, Tampanensis Georgia is one of the few strains known to produce both mushrooms and sclerotia. This characteristic has made it a subject of ongoing interest within the functional fungi community.
