Goini aka (Apalachicola Lowland kingsnakes) are indigenous to the panhandle of Florida in the Franklin, Liberty, Gulf, Jefferson, Leon, as well as other portions of the surrounding county areas.
Well, there are a few different types of "mosaic" kings in the hobby. There are mosaic Eastern kings, Cal. kings, as well as Florida kings. You are probably talking about the Florida kingsnake morph though. In short, these did indeed originate from genuine L. g. floridana captured just south of Lake Okeechobee in the cane fields. They first popped up in clutches from Bill Brant(Gourmet Rodent) in 2003 from snakes that descended from some gravid females.
BTW, your so-called "anerythristic" Desert king is actually an axanthic morph. They do not have any red pigment(erythrin) in their natural color scheme whatsoever. However, they certainly do involve yellow pigment(xanthin)in their natural color scheme. No yellow = "a-xanthic". Xanthos being the Greek word meaning yellow.
Have fun with them!. All of those are very nice snakes to have..
