Lizard King Spore Swab Pack

Disclaimer:

If you want to buy Lizard King swabs, be cautious as Lizard King spores are “active spores” which are for microscopy or artistic purposes. We will not complete your order if you contact us regarding the cultivation of active spores. Similarly, for legal reasons if you mention cultivating active spores or ask for cultivating advice, you will be subsequently banned from the site.

These spores are from a species that produces psilocybin and psilocin. For legal reasons they can only ship to 47 out of the 50 United States. Shipping is unavailable to California, Idaho, and Georgia.

Sonoran Spores acquires these spores and photos from outside, trusted sources in a legal manner.  Further, Sonoran Spores does not condone or participate in the cultivation of psilocybin/psilocin producing or “active” species.  Sonoran Spores also does not have any mycelium or fruiting bodies of psilocybin and psilocin producing species.  We will not sell any products containing this so do not ask.

Spore Visibility Disclaimer: When you buy Lizard King spores, visibility is dependent on the characteristics of the spores themselves. As a result, not all spore swabs will look the same visually. All swabs are unique and may not look identical to each other or the picture above. Despite these visible differences, spore swabs are still viable for microscopy research.

Origin information

Lizard King is another Cubensis variety that originates from Mexico (similar to Mazatapec and Huautla). It’s named after its discoverer, a person who went under the pseudonym The Lizard King. An interesting side note is that The Lizard King is also well known for collecting other mushroom specimens and spores, including Psilocybe Mexicana’s which is highly regarded in the microscopy community. 

A unique characteristic of the Lizard King variety is that when it was first found in Mexico, it was growing on a mixture of wood chips and horse manure, despite the fact that Cubensis mushrooms are not commonly observed growing on wood chips. With this in mind, we can say that the genetics are very adaptable and resilient which makes them great spores for any skill level.
