Oh no, that's not good of Lulu to eat! The majority of mushrooms are non-toxic to dogs, but there are a small number of them that are toxic. You have two options in this case. To be safe, you can take her into a vet now. There will be a vet on call for emergencies in your area, and the information to reach that vet on call will be found on a clinic's answering machine or website. You could also choose to monitor Lulu. If you see any vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, weakness, lethargy, yellowing of the skin, uncoordinated movement, drooling, or seizures, then she will need to see a vet immediately.
