Are any of these mushrooms poisonous for my pup?

These mushrooms look like "Lawyer's Wig", or shaggy ink cap mushrooms. They are edible when young. However there are poisonous lookalike mushrooms. I would not let my dog eat them as it is not proven that they are not poisonous to dogs. Watch for diarrhea, vomiting, general malaise and if you see those signs, take your dog to your veterinarian for an exam.
