It’s that time of year when and expand their scent detection skills by hunting for the white truffle (aka the “Bianchetto” or “Tuber Borchii”) as well as the usual but also exceptional black truffle.

We are starting to see a few white truffle ripen enough to harvest, releasing their beautiful garlicky/mushroom aroma.

We are very fortunate here in SA to grow such beautiful white truffles, often harvesting well into September.

Definitely one of our all-time favourites.

2026 has already been a huge year for our Biosecurity Detection Dogs. We have been working on multiple projects with and including Giant Pine Scale surveillance.

Our incredible team of dogs consistently demonstrate how important they are to the biosecurity challenges South Australia faces every day.

If you spot suspicious white, cotton-like wax on pine or other susceptible conifer trees, report it via the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800 084 881 or through the PIRSA website.

Gus and Bella have had a busy few days on biosecurity scent work, doing their part to help keep South Australia pest free. They’ll rest their noses over the weekend before a packed few months ahead, then switch focus as truffle season 2026 approaches.
