little brown mushrooms

  • Mushrooms Toxic to Dogs

    So far, it’s a chilly and rainy summer here in Colorado, which is quite rare. Weeks and weeks of almost-daily rain mean that scads of wild mushrooms keep popping up in our yard and pastures. To keep things simple when talking about mushrooms toxic to dogs, veterinarians often use the abbreviation LBM, meaning “little brown mushrooms.” Not that other types of mushrooms toxic to dogs don’t exist, but at least here … little brown ones tend to be most common. I take ZERO chances, and I pull and dispose of everything I find.
