Unhappy Mushrooms

Unfortunately, they are still growing fast. Each day I go around the yard at least twice and get a sandwich bag each time. If we've been gone for the week, it has been a gallon bag full. It is mighty distressing how fast these little buggers grow. We are getting white, yellow, brown and now reddish mushrooms. Not at all sure which are poisonous to our canine kids. My pups don't seem interested in them, but it just isn't worth the risk.

One morning a few weeks ago, I let Harry out and went back in to get Khaleesi. As she went out I noticed a partially eaten 'shroom on the walkway near him. I could not tell if there were rodent chew marks or dog nibbles. What could I do? Poor Harry got a dose of peroxide. It was very upsetting to make him throw up, but I had to be sure he hadn't been poisoned. Thankfully, he had not eaten the mushroom. What a relief.
