**Official Western Australia Psilocybin Season 2026** - NO ID REQUESTS - * 1
    #29592730 -

Welcome to the WA season!

Post anything and everything to do with mushroom foraging, with a focus on Ps. Subaeruginosa native in the Blue Triangle (area around Balingup, Nannup and Bridgetown) but can be from anywhere so long they are active (Amanitas, Purparatus, Cinctulus etc...).

The season will soon be off to a start with the recent rains as we see  more rain and the first few flushes of the season.




:goodluck: and have fun!:mushroom2:

according to Inaturalist no subs yet .

but if Gymnopilus purpuratus are your thing , they're out and almost half of all Australian observations are from a 100 km radius around Perth.

Okay, so I did a recon mission today down to the triangle, and found that a few of the patches were starting up.  I can only see it getting better as the wettest month (July) is still around the corner.

I went for a walk in the pines on Nannup-ballingup Rd but no subs. Not sure if I'm in the right spot.

I also tried the pines near Margs Airstrip and nothing, seems too warm.

Is there any ground in Rosabrook or best to stick to the triangle?

So long as it is in the triangle (haven't heard they exist outside like near Margaret River), but the spot you want will look like this:



So you can notice its sparse pine plantation, on the very edges of the thicker pine forest in the background, with alot of grassy patches with fallen logs and it will be quite damp/soggy. Another sign is that there might be lookalikes around. Sometimes you will find a stray sub, but often there will be more around if you look, checking under and between logs, looking carefully in the grass, and in hard to reach places (because of the high moisture), they love to hide.

After many years of picking in the triangle, I thought I'd put together some tips for finding new patches:

Do not look in native bushland; it's a waste of time. Look in pine plantations, blue gum plantations, or a mixture of pine/blue gums and native bushland. Google maps satellite view is your friend.

For pine plantations:
- Never look directly in the pine forest itself. Look on the edge of the plantation, in clearings, or along a logging trail. They love growing near dirt roads / logging trails. They will easily grow 15m outside of the plantation itself. If you DO want to look directly in the pine plantation, make sure the trees are very far apart with room for sunlight to get through.
- Make sure the area you're looking in has cover from the north, to block the midday sun (don't look on the north side of plantations, in other words).

For blue gum plantations:
- Unlike pine plantations, subs will happily grow directly in the plantation itself. Just make sure the blue gums are nicely spread apart to allow sunlight to get through.

Spend AT LEAST 20 minutes at each spot before dismissing it and moving onto the next one. It has sometimes taken me 20 minutes to find my first sub at a patch. Once you find your first one, you will start finding MANY more at that spot.

All patches are different: Some will have subs evenly distributed throughout the entire forest. Others will only grow in certain pockets of the forest, but in larger groups. Keep this in mind when looking.

If you do this, I promise you WILL find new patches that are far away from the main areas. There are plenty out there. I personally find new patches every year.

Busy day in the triangle today (Sunday). Easily 5-6 others in same patch. What's the etiquette generally? Keep your distance? Say hello?

Had the first find of a handful but very busy ground so not expecting to reap much again.

I usually watch how there picking and if there picking respectfully I’ll say hi, if I get a friendly hi back with good vibes, I’ll have a quick chat and then proceed to pick away.

This year there’s to many people in the patches at one time to do that and a lot of them are loud talking which I don’t like so I just keep my head down and pick away nice and quiet. Sometimes you can be quiet and pick stealth for ages with people around and they won’t even know you’re there.

Also the heat on the patches from the red and blue has just gone from a 0 to 100. It had been nice a run for a few years, not a cop in sight all day every day. Now this year I’ve seen more people in one day(I went to 8 different spots in one day 1st June) than I have in last 5 years combined and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Just a heads up. Nothing new if used to pick 10-20 years ago, just like the old days.

Maybe its just me but its like the majority of a forest can be empty and one tiny corner because of the way the rain water catches or how the sunlight is positioned throughout the day produces alot more per area than other areas. Like usually its one or two spread very thinly across alot of galerina, slippery jacks, etc... and you might find 5 in an hour, but when you hit these areas its like the only the thing you find are subs, where you get bunches growing together of maybe 3-10 at a time. The other thing triangledweller, is maybe im impatient or because i don't have hours and hours to search so im in abit of a rush, but if I don't find something within 5 minutes at a spot i move to the next. I'd prefer to find no subs than to waste an hour at a spot only to find a couple of subs.

Anyway, this is my recent find, and a few pictures.


bad quality because of zoom, but that was some emus

Cortinarius persplendidus

Amanita xanthocephala (?)

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker, first time posting. Down in the triangle and it’s so beautiful. Been here plenty of times wandering around looking at all the different types and just enjoying the area.




The Amanita Muscaria was absolutely stunning. A patch I had spread spores around years previously. I still don’t think I have identified a sub correctly.

Judging from what little i can see of the stem of the pin, it doesn't look like a sub (stem will look more white), and check for blue bruising.




From what I gather if you start in B town, specifically the forests on the very popular street, you can learn to read where they are most likely to occur and take it to different areas in the triangle.

Gorgeous photo of the amanitas by the way.

So update, I definitely think I found one… or maybe a little patch.




Was literally at my feet when I had thought about giving up. They definitely aren’t as prevalent as I thought they would be. Might try and create another patch with what I have by spreading the spores around.
