Can dogs eat Mushrooms?

Overview

Caution. While most store bought mushrooms are safe and can even offer health benefits for dogs, wild mushrooms are a different story. Many wild varieties are highly toxic and can cause serious illness or even be fatal. To stay safe, only feed your dog mushrooms you would eat yourself and never let them snack on wild mushrooms during walks.

Benefits

Mushrooms contain an abundant amount of amino acids, enzymes, and essential minerals like zinc, iron, and calcium.
Mushrooms have anti-inflammatory properties and tumor-fighting abilities. In addition, they are an excellent immune booster for dogs.

Risks

Mushrooms that grow in the wild are not always safe for dogs. Some wild mushrooms are toxic and may cause neurological issues.
Even the least dangerous wild mushrooms can potentially cause stomach upset in dogs.
The Amanita species is the most toxic to dogs, and common symptoms include vomiting, tremors or seizures, and kidney failure.
Unless you know what you are doing, It's best to keep your dog away from mushrooms that grow in the wild to avoid mushroom poisoning.
