Hey all, I posted this in the plant identification forum but just in case, I wanted to post it here because my friends in the beginning gardening forum are so knowledgeable and quick to reply. I let Mac out this morning and noticed him with something white in his mouth so I went right out to see. He had one of the three that grew overnight. I got it away from him and tossed all 3 over the fence but now I'm worried. I can't find any pictures that look like this to see if it's poisonous.
Hi Babeegirl! I don't know but I just wanted to say hi.
hi Lynnie! what a way to start the morning :) coffee and getting a yucky thing out of the dogs' mouth!
Nothing like caffiene and dog spit to get your day going.....grin
we had a golden...guess what he used to eat.....rocks!
What else would a pup of yours eat Lynn?
Lynnie at least its not poisonous plants! don't ever get a chupacabra as a pet!
Catch ya later Guys...glad your Pup is okay Babeegirl.
Could be an Amanita, Death Cap Mushroom. Best to get rid of it.
yikes that sounds ominous! better get rid of any others you see Babee!
The deadly poisonous Aminitas tend to have a visible cup, technically called a 'volva' around their base, and a pronounced membrane (or 'anunulus') attaching the edges of the cap to the stalk. The worst ones also don't have scaly caps, like this mushroom. Looks like possibly a Lepiota to me, but that's just a guess.. Some of them are poisonous, but by that's usually just to the extent of gastrointestinal upset, which can suck, but is seldom long-lasting. Some Lepiota's are also choice gourmet mushrooms. Funny how nature works.
