I just put Biscuit out into his run this evening while the rain was holding off, but I didn't check it before putting him in! The second I put him in, I caught him nibbling on a mushroom! :shock:

I did find some the other day in another part of the garden that's a bit away from his pen, but I removed them just incase. But today, I just didn't think to check inside his pen! :( I will be from now on though!

Can anyone identify them at all? Are they poisonous? I'm just a bit worried but he really did only have one nibble before I was able to remove them!

If it helps, I'm in North Wales at the moment (on a holiday break :D Biscuit was able to come along also!) just incase the mushrooms are exclusive to that area?

Here's a photo, sorry about quality (and size :oops: ) it was taken on my phone!

Thanks! I have been looking about on the net all evening and the closest I've come to are these (http://www.mushrooms.org.uk/displaysubcat.asp?qid=194&action=genus) but still slightly unsure, since I've only seen the youg sprouted form! It states they are unedible but luckily not poisonous! I've been keepin my eye on him and all seems good, still has his massive appetite! :lol: I'll just be sure to check his pen before putting him in now =)

Done a search on google images....they look a bit like magic mushrooms, dont think bun would be poisoned, but maybe just a bit spaced out!! lol!

Hard to tell from the picci but could be

fairy ring - http://www.mushrooms.org.uk/displaysubcat.asp?action=common Edible but can be confused with false fairy ring
Haymakers mushroon - inedible but not poisonous
Some form of brittlestem - not poisonous as far as I'm aware


It is not one of the really nasties for humans but then again I heard that bunnys can eat death caps which would be fatel to humans (not that I'd want to try that one out)
