The inkcap is not considered a toxic mushroom but could still lead to GI upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. I would recommend removing the mushrooms to avoid any such symptoms. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
