So a couple of weeks ago I was in the backyard with our dogs, Boudreaux & Roux<\/a> when I noticed some mushrooms coming up in the grass. I thought “Hmmm… should I get my camera?” Well I didn’t act on that thought until a week later after that patch of mushrooms were replaced with even more and bigger mushrooms.<\/p>\n

Get the camera, tripod, and macro lens to capture some pics of these very nice sized mushrooms or in slang terms: caps, ‘shrooms, & toadstools. The dogs were naturally curious in what I was doing so I suffered a few broken ‘shrooms due to paw abuse.<\/p>\n

After getting a few choice pictures, I thought I would share. In writing this post, I thought I would figure out what kind of mushroom these were (’cause I knew you would ask.) and to my surprise, I found out that these mushrooms are poisonous<\/a>. To people AND dogs! Thankfully our dogs have never shown much interest in eating them but rest assured that I will be diligent in removing future toadstools from the yard. If your dog has already ingested some of the mushroom, read Sandy Moyer’s article<\/a> on mushrooms poisoning and how to help.<\/p>\n

Below are the three pictures of the different stages of the Amanita phalloides mushroom. This might help you to identify this bad ‘shroom from a good one.<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a>
\n1st stage of growth<\/p>\n

\"Second<\/a>
\n2nd stage of growth<\/p>\n

\"Last<\/a>
\n3rd stage of growth<\/p>\n

So… if you see these little caps growing in your yard and you have dogs, please remove them. If not for you, do it for Fido’s sake!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
