hello, I was wondering if someone would be able to identify this mushroom?
I have a very sick cat and the vets suspect either a brain tumor or some kind of "poisoning" with a neurotoxin. The cat lives in a large enclosed room with many plants but none of them are toxic and don't appear chewed on. But I did find some mushrooms growing in one of the large planters...

Here's the photo link, hopefully I uploaded correctly:



Thank you!!!! (Edit: I'm in Southern California )

Leucocoprinus birnbaumii (or similar eg L. flavescens), that produce some toxic alkaloids (I just read they can cause peptic ulcers) but they are very common in houseplants and I don't think they would cause a severe problem in a small quantity. I can't find anything suggesting it causes problems. I am sorry to hear about your cat and wish you the best.

Thank you So much joie!!! I just looked up that name and it does look like that. I'll inform the vet (they sent me home yesterday to look for possible mold toxins / other poisonous things)- so it's worth a shot.

Interesting about the peptic ulcers because after two days of tests, blood panels and X-rays they still don't know what's going on but they gave him some anti nausea and the cat version of " pepsid AC" and he perked up some. But he's still stumbling around like he's drunk and drooling...

I'll report back if they are able to nail down the cause of all this, and hopefully he does recover.

Regardless I very much appreciate you taking the time to answer my question :smile:
