Mushroom toxicity is usually caused by ingestion of wild mushrooms.  If you are unsure whether the mushrooms ingested are poisonous or not, assume they are.  Wild mushrooms cause a variety of severe medical problems including kidney, liver and heart damage, central nervous system effects and even death.  For dogs, you may INDUCE VOMITING and seek veterinary assistance for follow-up care.  For cats, seek veterinary assistance immediately.
