mushrooms are they poisonous to pigs?

[poodle-pigs]

hi, on my lawn i seem to have a lot of small brown mushrooms growing. do you think they could harm my pigs? would a pig eat mushrooms? what makes them grow, could it be the pig poo? any ideas welcome.

I wouldn't know what's making them grow, but unless you're sure they can eat them, i should stay clear of them just in case!

 

[poodle-pigs]

yeah iv'e been pulling them up but i was worried in case i missed one

i think maybe they are more toadstools then mushrooms and unless you want flying piggys I wouldn't chance missing one ( have you heard of magic mushrooms ) ;D ;D

i wondered why they asked me for a bong

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D, we get them on our front lawn i think its to do with drainage or something like that

We have been getting mushrooms they drive me mad, I am sure they arent to healthy for piggies as I wouldnt eat one so I wouldnt like them too.

Strange just wondering about the same problem.Noticed the toadstools in the garden the other day,will now remove them,they are in area the guinea pigs go to eat!So it can wait till tomorrom! Thanks

 

[michellemuffin]

it must be the wet weather bringing them up and not draining away

We have had mushrooms growing the last few days - didnt notice them last year - Id steer clear >

Absolutely. There are many toxic toadstools and they are very hard to identify. Stay away - pigs, yourselves and any other pets.
