Why It's Dangerous
While shop-bought mushrooms (button, portobello, chestnut) are generally safe in small amounts, wild mushrooms are a different matter. Species such as Amanita phalloides (death cap) and Amanita muscaria (fly agaric) are deadly. As it is very difficult to identify mushrooms accurately, all wild mushrooms should be avoided.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Severe vomiting and diarrhoea
- Abdominal pain
- Drooling
- Liver failure signs
- Seizures or coma in severe cases
Vet Guidance
Veterinary emergency if wild mushrooms were eaten. Try to identify or photograph the mushroom to help your vet.
