So my boston terrier ate one of these last night when i wasn't looking...anyone capable of identifying? Trying to decide if i need to go to Vet. So far he's still got his appetite, just throwing up saliva every now and then.

Thanks.

yep, it's a mushroom

White+gills isn't something I am good with I just avoid those as a general rule. There are harmless mushrooms that look like this but then there are also some deadly ones. Were there other intact mushrooms nearby that you can take a picture of.

That link can help you with IDing for other "Destroying angle" fungi as well.

Can you find the stem?

I think you might have dodged a bullet

It may be a White Russula

I would just watch the dog. How much is he vomiting? If he's not keeping food down, and vomiting consistently (like every so many hours) I'd go to the vet. If the dog seems okay after he's puked once or twice.... you're probably fine.

took him to Vet anyway...no poison but pretty darn dehydrated after all the stomach issues...guess it was worth going anyway...thanks again.

6/29/2013 12:51:32 PM

That's always the safer play.... also more expensive... however NOT more expensive than letting the symptoms get so bad they have to do emergency surgery.

You want to vomit like 30-45 minutes in and let me say they do taste terrible. But after that you are good to go. Your dog is probably trippin balls. The vet was a horrible place to take him.
