Lemon tek doesn't add any potency to a trip just makes you absorb it quicker which may make an illusion that the trip is stronger, it's just going through your system faster.
Lemon tek makes the trip way more powerful dude. Let me give you an example, whenever you make a tea, you will realize that after a time the tea becomes dark blue, it means that part of the actives are oxidising even before being absorbed by your body. But if you add lemon which is an antioxidant, you will see that it will turn from blue to brown. In other words, lemon prevents the actives from degradation, which means that more psilocin will be absorbed and get to your brain. As PrimalSoup said when you just eat the mushrooms, only 50% of the actives are absorbed and the rest are oxidised, the same doesn't happen if you add vitamin c.

Let's not forget the importance of the acid (or vitamin c, ascorbic acid) in bringing the psilocin into solution rather than oxidizing it (the blue color). My tea used to be blue years ago, but as I describe in the tea tek in my sig citric acid potentiates the tea and the oxidation doesn't happen. It is by far the best method I've ever found.

It's all in the link - psilocin doesn't dissolve well in plain water, it's mostly lost. Psilocybin is a different story. Fresh mushrooms contain both psilocin and psilocybin, dried will have less psilocin as it's less stable against oxidation.
For the source where I found the info read this: The Mushroom Entheogen, The Measure of the Mushroom by C.B. Gold
