   Not sure about that. A quick google showed up one uk supplier although they   
   were "out of stock". Wasn't seriously considering it anyway.   
      
   I know they made the psilocybe mushrooms illegal a few years ago. There was   
   a loophole in the law where one could sell them fresh but this was closed.   
   Always makes me laugh when I see an illegal mushroom pop up on some lawn or   
   somewhere. How dare it!   
      
   BTW, I've never tried mushrooms for intoxicating purposes, not for any moral   
   or legal reasons but because I've suffered from anxiety issues. I have   
   enjoyed reading about other peoples' experiences though. It just doesn't   
   make any sense to me why such activity should be banned. It's very strange   
   why taking large doses of ethanol is considered acceptable but this isn't. I   
   suppose it's lucky I don't wish to partake.
