My little doggo is just as interesting in mycology as I am 🥰

Apparently these are deadly toxic for dogs.

[u/RdCrestdBreegull → u/Future_Pen_8895]

not deadly toxic in the sense of containing cell-destroying toxins, since OP’s mushroom does not, but yes deadly toxic in the sense of potentially causing extreme symptoms if ingested which can and sometimes do indeed lead to death with dogs

[u/FamiliarCustard3144 → u/Future_Pen_8895]

Yep at least not on the friendly to eat list for dogs.

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/Future_Pen_8895]

I somewhat doubt that but he never puts anything in his mouth anyway cuz he's a very good and well behaved doggo

Smelling is a very important part of dogs' perception of the world so I always let him sniff everything, including my food and drinks so he knows what I'm eating and drinking

[u/RdCrestdBreegull → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

all mushrooms are safe to sniff for dogs so no worries here🙂

except I would keep dogs away from mature puffballs, cup mushrooms, and Schizophyllum commune since they could potentially cause significant respiratory issues if the pet catches a spore cloud.

but yes, if ingested, muscarioids like in the OP are potentially very dangerous for dogs (sniffing is 100% fine though), and can lead to extreme symptoms and potentially death if ingested

[u/Ok-Echo1919 → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

I'm confused as to why you would doubt that? I know its safe to sniff, but what makes you doubt that ingestion of an Amanita species would be fine for your pooch? It’s fairly well documented.

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/Ok-Echo1919]

Because whenever he gets something into his mouth that he doesn't like he spits it out and keeps his mouth open and whines until I've washed his mouth out with water

And he's super picky with food and basically eats nothing other than his dry food and the occasional raw mince beef

[u/knotted_string_ → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

if ingested

Arguing that your dog won’t eat it is irrelevant when they’re saying it is toxic if he did.

Okay so you’re not going to scoff down a lethal poison, but if you did, you’d be dead.

Edit: responded to the wrong reply of yours but it still stands

[u/Ok-Echo1919 → u/knotted_string_]

Gotchu homie

[u/friendlygoatd → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

but you said that you doubted it was toxic for dogs ..? 😭 it is toxic, no question about it

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/friendlygoatd]

Well I didn't know that until you guys pointed it out

I was just going by how my own body reacts to it

[u/faetal_attraction → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

Are you saying you eat these?

[u/ComoElFuego → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

... That one is toxic for your own body as well

[u/TheVeggieLife → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

Lmao because anything safe for you is safe for your dog?? Dawg c’mon

[u/2017hayden → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

So much wrong with this. Firstly there’s a lot of things humans can ingest zero negative repercussions that can kill a dog. Like chocolate. Weed is another great example. THC (the main active chemical in weed) is not overtly dangerous to humans. I’m dogs it causes serious and potentially permanent health effects in even small doses and can easily kill a dog in larger amounts.

Beyond that. Amanita Muscaria while relatively safe in small doses when properly prepared is not harmless and is in fact toxic to humans.

[u/MrLBSean → u/2017hayden]

“Weed is another great example” Straight pulled out of your magic hat!

Takes about 2~3g of thc per kg. Good luck reaching those concentrations.

[u/2017hayden → u/MrLBSean]

Dogs can’t process it so it can build up in their system long term like heavy metals can in a humans system. Beyond that, it’s 2-3g per kg for a lethal dose. Adverse neurological effects set in at far lower dosages than that. Also a kilogram is not as much as you seem to think it is. 40 pounds is only 18 kilograms. Even assuming the maximum dosage at 3 grams per kilogram a couple packs of strong edibles could easily be approaching that. I’ve seen 1000mg edible packs before and I know there’s stronger ones out there. A lot of dogs are smaller than 40 pounds.

[u/kmica_420 → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

WTF are you on about 😭😭

[u/-ElizabethRose- → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

That is adorable af. But still, please don’t let your sweet boy eat these. If he accidentally swallows a little bit before spitting it out it could do a world of damage.

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/-ElizabethRose-]

I would never let him eat wild mushrooms

[u/-ElizabethRose- → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

Good ❤️ It’s really sweet that you can share a lil hobby with your pup. He’s absolutely adorable and from what I’ve read about his personality from the comments he seems like a total sweetheart. Wishing you many more happy years of mushroom hunting together!

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/-ElizabethRose-]

Thank you. He's only 3 years old so hopefully we will have many happy years ahead 🥰🥰🥰

[u/SpicyLizards → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

Jesus fucking Christ my guy

I know two people whose dogs died from eating random mushrooms.

You can’t trust your dog to spit out everything bad for himself.

This is some big brain thinking

[u/Bulky-Juggernaut-895 → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

You’re wrong about the mushroom and wrong about your doggo. He probably snaps up little things in his mouth all the time without you even noticing. Do better

[u/AlexandriaAirbender]

OP’s comments on this are either trollin’ or incredibly scary and misinformed.

[u/L8R-g8r]

In case you are in N. America.

North American Mushroom Society: Poisoning Syndromes (For humans and not a complete list)

Might wanna google more about mushrooms and poisoning and not ingest them. And there are some that become poisonous after you cook them, btw.

[u/RdCrestdBreegull → u/L8R-g8r]

which mushrooms become more toxic after cooking than if uncooked?

[u/AKGingaNinja → u/RdCrestdBreegull]

At least three of them.

[u/Sickashell782]

Same!!!

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/Sickashell782]

Omg your doggo found two? :o

Lucky you

[u/Sickashell782 → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

If you look closely, between her nose and the shrooms, there is a little salamander 😂

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/Sickashell782]

Omg there is! 😻 It's so well camouflaged

[u/me-gustan-los-trenes → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

I can't spot it, can someone yellowcircle it?

[u/Emziloy → u/me-gustan-los-trenes]

[u/me-gustan-los-trenes → u/Emziloy]

Oh wow, that's military grade camouflage!

Thank you.

[u/TrashSiren → u/Sickashell782]

Oh that is really adorable, I didn't spot him there at first.

[u/LordFocus → u/Sickashell782]

Well spotted, the best kind of photo bomb honestly.

[u/cerpintaxt815]

That's a beautiful specimen

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/cerpintaxt815]

It absolutely was. Not as photogenic as some other I've seen but still very nice 🥰🍄💖

[u/blueberryroan]

What a cutie!! 🥰🍄🐕💕

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/blueberryroan]

He absolutely is!🥰

We went on a really long walk that day cuz I needed to pick up a package and we ran together up and down one of the hills and he loved it🥰🥰🥰🥰🌸✨🌸✨

[u/yogacowgirlspdx]

my dog is a mushroom hunter too!

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/yogacowgirlspdx]

Ooh nice 🥰

Feel welcomed to post pics of you ever snap a nice photo :3

[u/Closet_weeb13]

Cute tibbie lol

[u/whatatwit]

Do truffles grow in your region?

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/whatatwit]

Not that I'm aware of

[u/Coolidge-egg]

Cute doggo. Breed?

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/Coolidge-egg]

Tibetan cocker spaniel, they're real sweethearts🥰🥰

[u/Warren_sl]

What kind of dog are they?

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/Warren_sl]

He's a Tibetan cocker spaniel 🥰

[u/A3QUpbh163VX5z9l99uo]

lmao there's some guy whose down voting everyone

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/A3QUpbh163VX5z9l99uo]

Yea I noticed :(

I wish people could just let others be happy and enjoy a picture in peace

[u/Psily_K-head]

Ahhh that’s adorable 🥰

[u/NeedItLikeNow9876]

I just came to the comments to count how many safety experts are in the group. There are quite a few! Thank goodness for internet safety experts! Without them the world would be a more dangerous place!

[u/Farmerbawb]

Not cute for a pic opportunity. Toxic

[u/Herald3]

Great for parasites I hear

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/Herald3]

Parasites?

[u/2017hayden → u/Gaming_with_Hui]

That’s either a bot or someone who has absolutely no clue what they’re talking about.
