My puppy vomited mushrooms. Is he in the clear or what to watch for?

Question

My puppy threw up a bunch of white mushrooms, assumingly from the neighbor’s yard. The emergency vet said to monitor him and call our vet in the morning but i wanted to know what I need to look out for or if he’s in the clear since he threw up? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 3 days old | 16 lbs

Unfortunately I'm not sure what species these mushrooms are - I think even a mushroom expert would have difficulty identifying mushrooms that have been ingested and then vomited. Various mushrooms can cause gastrointestinal upset, bloody diarrhea, hallucinations, muscle tremors, or in rare situations liver failure. If Ace vomits again, develops diarrhea, seems disoriented or has muscle tremors I would recommend contacting the emergency vet. If they did not perform screening blood work that might be a good idea as well. I'm hoping the mushrooms were benign and Ace will be feeling fine in the morning!
