What to do after ingestion
Drooling, vomiting, lethargy, jaundice, tremors.
Seek veterinary care immediately and bring the mushroom or a photo.
Amatoxins and related toxins
Cats can also develop acute liver failure from amatoxins, and their smaller size lowers tolerance.
What to do after ingestion
Drooling, vomiting, diarrhoea (which may seem to improve then return), abdominal pain, jaundice, lethargy, tremors, collapse.
Treat as an emergency: seek veterinary care at once and bring the mushroom (or a photo) if possible - identifying the species guides treatment.
Amatoxins and related toxins (e.g. phallotoxins, muscimol in other species)
Most fatal mushroom poisonings involve Amanita, Galerina and Lepiota species, and amatoxins can cause irreversible liver failure; identification requires a mycologist, so pets should not be allowed near any unidentified wild mushroom.

The apparent 'silent phase' before severe signs is dangerous - do not delay care; avoid wild mushrooms on walks and in the garden.
