Q: Can cats eat Mushrooms?

Caution: Store-bought safe — wild mushrooms potentially deadly. Commercially grown mushrooms (white button, portobello, cremini, shiitake) are generally non-toxic for cats. The severe danger comes from wild mushrooms — species like Amanita phalloides (death cap) are lethal. Because toxic wild species are difficult to distinguish from safe ones, cats should be kept away from any mushrooms growing outdoors. Source: ASPCA.
