Are Mushrooms poisonous?

[SalemWitchChild]

I know some mushrooms can be poisonous to even people. But today while I was outside playing with my daughter I found some wild mushrooms growing. This is in an area where Kota is normally tied out for some fresh air and to potty. I pulled all the mushrooms up that I could find. My question is are mushrooms poisonous to dogs and if so what species of mushrooms?

Yummy !!! I would have cooked them !!! There are really very few poisonous .... I doubt if any would be in your yard .

lol. Well considering this is an area where Kota relieves herself I don't think I could wash it enough to insert them in my mouth! lol.

That pretty dangerous advice, assuming that wild mushrooms are OK unless you enjoy Russian Roulette with 4 out of 6 chambers loaded with a live bullet.

Make sure they arent the "funny mushrooms"...you dont live in a cow pasture do ya?

I guess I would tend to be cautious and ask a vet. Even if the mushroom itself isn't poisonous, I think it could possibly still contain toxic mold.

Mushrooms are toxic to dogs. I wouldn't feed them and would avoid them.

I know some people that have given their dogs a mushroom or two...even onions which are considered highly toxic, and their dogs were fine...heck I've given my dogs cooked onions in the past when I didn't realize they were toxic...they are still alive and kicking lol

...I'm sure your dog wouldn't hit the bucket after a mushroom or two...but again, I would avoid em.

Some mushrooms are...but I don't know which one's. I just keep Tira and Gunner away from all mushrooms that I see. Better safe than sorry.

Yes I think that is best. Hopefully I pulled them all up. I suppose I'll have to keep a closer eye on the yard for awhile. Hopefully winter kills them all.

I get mushrooms growing in my garden, I dont take any risks lol I dig them up and get rid, I am probably throwing away some really perfectly safe and delicious mushrooms lol but who cares, its not worth taking the chance

A freind of mine used to pick wild mushrooms in the woods near his home for eating. He had a thick book all about mushrooms and studied it all the time. He said if you ate the wrong type mushroom it would kill you pretty quickly....

We had a mushroom book too ..... the poisonous ones are easy to spot.

It definately is mushroom season!

We've had a few of those white mushrooms crop up in the backyard.

Riot thought they were fun to bat around with his paws - he got them taken away from him and thrown out lol

We pick up and throw out all mushrooms. The puppies WILL eat them

A lady with Pomeranian puppies/breeders let them out in her backyard and they ended up eating the "common" mushrooms found in yards. Over half of them died, the other half were in serious condition.
