Dog ate Mushroom… need help!


Gggggggggggg

Recommended Posts

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.

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.
