Gggggggggggg Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hey! My little dachshund ate half of the top of one of these mushrooms earlier today. I didn’t take any more photos because I didn’t think it would be so difficult to identify… it had a brown feathery underside though. Nothing too unusual. Can anyone help identify so we know whether to go to the vets? Found in the flowers beds at the Outlet Shopping centre in Ashford, Kent, UK. THANKS SO MUCH.

svs Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Could be Tapinella. More pics from underneath would be helpful. Also tapinella usually grow on rotting conifers. If it is tapinella should not be toxic, not very edible but in most cases not toxic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 It's really hard to say without seeing the gills. But Paxillus involutus came to mind first for me (a close look alike of Tapinella; they used to be in the same genus). The striations on the margin are more typical of P. involutus. Unfortunately, Paxillus are very poisonous, sometimes deadly, for humans. However it might not affect dogs the same. Also, it might be something completely different because we can only see the cap. Hope your dog is doing ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
