Lizard King

Lizard King is a legendary strain of Psilocybe cubensis, reportedly named in honor of Jim Morrison, the iconic frontman of The Doors, who was famously nicknamed the “Lizard King.” Known for its fast colonization, reliable fruiting, and bright, mystical experience, Lizard King is a fan favorite among growers and psychonauts alike. It’s a strain that merges cosmic curiosity with accessible clarity, ideal for those seeking exploration, inspiration, and introspection.

History

The Lizard King strain is said to have originated in Mexico, where it was collected by a mycologist or cultivator inspired by Morrison’s poetic and psychedelic legacy.
