    Urgent: is this poisonous?

    A minute ago, I saw Inka eat this!


    I freaked out and yelled at her, but it was to late. Does anyone know if that mushroom can hurt her??? They grow on the lawn, and are rather small. The cats play on the lawn every day, but I have no idea if they have touched these mushrooms yet.... .
    What now???

    Little Brown Mushrooms (LBMs)

    Like the LGBs (little gray birds) of the birdwatchers, this is a catchall category. It includes all small to medium-sized, hard-to-identify brownish mushroom with spores of all colors-of which there are many hundreds.

    Many LBMs are harmless, some are mildly poisonous or hallucinogenic, and a few are deadly. The innocent-looking little mushrooms of the genus Galerina are probably the most dangerous of the LBMs. They contain the same toxin as amanitas and have caused a number of deaths. Galerinas grow in clusters on wood and have brownish spores.

    Because they are so difficult to identify, all LBMs should be avoided.

    Little brown mushrooms are found in spring, summer and fall, in all habitats. Poisonous LBMS may grow on soil or wood and may appear in lawns, pastures or forests.

    Thank you so much!!
    I phoned my vet right away and described the mushroom. She has the same ones on her lawn, so she knew what I was talking about . It is okay, they are NOT poisonous at all. I don't know the exact name yet, but no more worries !!

    I have hold a close eye on Inka for hours, and she is as naughty and active as usual
