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.
