Can pets eat mushrooms?

Dogs CAUTION

Plain store-bought mushrooms are generally safe. Wild mushrooms are the lethal risk — several species kill dogs. Never let dogs graze outdoors on mushrooms.

Cats CAUTION

Store-bought only, plain. Treat any wild mushroom ingestion as an emergency.

Why

Cultivated ≠ wild. Amanita and relatives are frequently fatal.

Symptoms to watch for

Vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, seizures, liver failure (delayed).

If it already happened

Wild mushroom ingestion = emergency vet visit, bring a sample/photo.
