It is possible that Mushroom could be having seizures, another nervous system disorder, muscle disorder, infection, toxin exposure, among a few others. I would recommend that you have him checked out by a vet as soon as possible. If you can, video is tremors as this may help a vet see what is going on. In case these episodes are seizures, remember to keep you hands well away from his mouth in case he bites, since some seizing dogs aren't aware of what is happening and could cause some serious damage.
