Hello good people! I come to you from the land of the racist! Australia! Although, I am not a racist don't worry 
OK, silliness aside now... I have been testing different types of acacia around New South Wales in Australia, Mainly around Sydney and the coast, and have had no success with any extractions thus far! I have been looking for a specific tree called Acacia Maidenii.
These are the main pictures I have been basing my search on.
"Green fruit"
"Ripe fruit"
===============================================================================================
Here are some pictures I have taken on my journey to the southern coast of Sydney. Feel free to distribute these images! Open source! I greatly appreciate any input! Even that which tells me I need to keep looking
I was told of a vast area south of Sydney, which contains a good majority of these Acacia Maidenii according to wiki, and went for a decent hike. I found a location with about 8-10 fairly large trees! Approx. 7-12 meters in height. As you can see, this is also surrounded by babies!
This is a picture of the flowers before they had grown out and budded. Below are pictures of a dried branch, the same buds starting to grow out and flower.
A close up of the trunk. This one was approx. 12-13 inches in diameter.
This was a bit smaller, maybe 10-12 inches in diameter.
From far
The seed pods don't appear as red as in the photos. They are in fact more of a browny orange, borange?(good song). Brown like bark on the outside with borange on the inside. VERY twisted and tangled!
The leaves are approx. 8-15mm wide. Approx 80-120mm in length. Very thin, slightly curved, slightly rough.
Seed pod with some seeds still attached.
Thought I'd add this one too Nice little birds nest in there. approx. 9-10cm.
I also took some time and gathered approx. 35-50 seeds. This is an image of one. They would hang from a little either off-white or yellow thing which connected the seed to the pod.
As you can see, they look almost identical! Problem is, I've had a couple of people disagree. I would like more feedback! I can see why this COULD be A. Maidenii but I'd like to know why it ISN'T, if that is your claim!
Thank you very much for your contribution! The fight for freedom of open-source consciousness shall continue!

Any ideas on this one?
I actually planted these about 10 years ago as a part of a regeneration program around some local man made
wetlands(long before I had any idea) and there thriving now. There's a couple of different species down there but I was sitting under this one's shade so took a couple of (crappy phone) pics.
Cheers

Indeed
I'll find more locations soon enough! I've got a lot of possible areas. The less human traffic, the better.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if 1 of these is usable? I bought a few books to check for myself but it turns out Acacias are a little tricky for me

Thanks

..am a bit pressed for ID time...will ponder those very interesting samples --Shadow when i get a chance...
as for 'useable' marc, that's not a straightforward question, and requires some use of google and the nexus

Which books did you buy? There have been a few helpful ones mentioned in the thread. Also worldwidewattle has a great by area search feature.
Usually in books they are also sectioned off into areas so you can at least flick through the relevant sections looking for look-a-likes. Note these down.
Then you can look through the pictures and look for similar looking seed pods (the most unique part of an acacia I believe) If no pods to compare look for similarities of bark structure and phyllode arrangement/size/shape.
If your specimen is in flower check in your shortlist for species with the same flowering times.
Check for similarities of gland arrangements and or position.
Same for flower arrangement, structure and colour.
To look specifically for active acacia look at the list and then see if any of them are in your area using worldwidewattle. If there is one study it in detail know its features and distinguishing parts then use the internet or local resources to search its distribution. Go for a drive with firm knowledge of what you are looking for.

Actually giving up hasnt happened.. Just looking for more knowledge I dont possess.
The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants:
Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide
Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide: A Handbook for Psilocybin Enthusiasts
The rest are in pdf form that are in excess of 50 .. swim has done a few extractions but to no avail on reaping spice. Even go to the point where after adding the NOAH the TB got blod red... but nothing to draw off of it.
Thanks

Those books are nothing to do with acacia I dont see your point here sorry. I was just giving you a start in how to narrow down the id of a certain plant as to whether they are 'usable'or not. Your link doesnt work by the way.
