Lizard King
$20.00 – $360.00
Lizard King Mushroom mushrooms are a highly sought-after strain in Canada and beyond. The origin of its name is a bit of a mystery, though. Some believe the mycologist Lizard King inspired the name, while others think it honours Jim Morrison’s lizard connection.
Though not the strongest of Psilocybe mushrooms, this strain attracts many beginners with its clean and calming effects.
Identifying The Strain
- Cap: Medium to large, with a distinctive, wavy, or irregular shape; colours range from light brown to gold, sometimes with darker, reddish hues.
- Stipe (Stem): Thick and robust, usually white to light brown; exhibits a fibrous texture with possible discoloration or bruising.
- Size: 5 to 12 centimetres in height and 2cm to 3cm wide in diameter.
Potency & Effects
Quantitative testing shows this strain has a potency of around 0.3–0.5% psilocybin and psilocin. For comparison, the average Psilocybe cubensis contains 0.5% to 0.9% total tryptamines.
Despite its lower potency, the lizard king mushrooms strain remains a powerful hallucinogen. You may just need to consume slightly more than with other dried shrooms strains to achieve similar effects.
