In most western countries possession and use of the mushrooms were declared illegal shortly after their appearance, and therefore their use has been driven underground and is uncontrolled. An exception to that rule is Holland and some other countries in the European Union, where fresh mushrooms can be obtained in smart shops which cater to the needs of psychonauts and others. Dried mushrooms however are considered a "preparation" and thus remain illegal there. Nonetheless there is an active international trade both in mushrooms and in spores, which can be easily grown in sterile medium. (See Drug policy of the Netherlands.) Another exception is the United Kingdom, where fresh magic mushrooms are legal, and only become illegal when 'prepared' (i.e. dried, or made into a tea). Fresh mushrooms are widely available for sale throughout the UK, but their legal status is currently under review - most notibly in the new Drugs Bill currently at revue, section 21, which proposes to make any Psilocin containing fungii (which includes the wild-growing liberty caps) class A illegal drugs.

"shortly after their appearance"? when did they appear, 1940? 1910? they have existed alongside humans for many years. they were originally suppressed in the west under pressure from orthodox christian organizations.
anyway, it's a convoluted and complicated history. in the us they are schedule 1, meaning they are considered to be without therapeutic value and are lumped in with cocaine and heroin. until recently in many states you could sell the spores, but the federal government has been working to end this.

"Drugs Bill Receives Royal Assent 20/04/2005
07/04/2005: The Drugs Bill received Royal Assent today.
The Drugs Bill received Royal Assent today. The Drugs Act 2005 brings in powers to:
* give the police powers to test for class A drugs on arrest and require those who test positive to attend a drugs assessment and follow-up appointment;
* make dealing near a school, or using children as couriers for drugs or drugs-related money, an aggravating factor in sentencing;
* introduce a new presumption that those caught with more drugs than reasonable for personal use intend to supply, which carries tougher penalties;
* give the police tougher powers to tackle dealers who swallow their drugs or hide them in body cavities - the police will be able to order an x-ray or ultrasound, and magistrates will be able to remand suspected swallowers in custody for up to eight days;
* tackle the open selling of 'magic mushrooms' by clarifying the law that fresh mushrooms, as well as prepared ones, are illegal; and
* establish a new drug intervention order to run alongside anti-social behaviour orders to address drug misuse by people committing anti-social acts.
See the full story on the Government News Network..."
wait, who do they think takes shrooms? chavscum? old burly men who enjoy a good pissup? violent gym goers? surely shrooms should be the least of their worries on cleaning up drugs. fucking ban poppers instead

Psilocybin is a Schedule I controlled substance in the US. Which is the most heavilly regulated.
I'm not sure if that applies to only the refined chemical or mushrooms containing psilocybin as well, though.

Fuck 'em. Even if they stop selling mushies in bong shops, there's bound to be a few online distros that'll ship them (or grow kits) to the uk. More of a hassle though i suppose.
And yeah, there's tons of liberty caps growing wild if you know where to look.
