~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These Death Caps were found in Menlo Park, Ca in the woods by Alpine Road. I know people who picked five grocery bags of Death Caps today in Woodside California trying to make their property safe. 

Please be careful if you go hiking in parks. Personally I would not let a dog run free right now. The Death Caps have a sweet scent that is attractive to our pups.  After the mushrooms start to decay they smell like dead fish and are even more enticing.

There is more information on this site and posters which can be printed and shared with your friends. Please share this blog and get the word out....

                                                

They're called Death Caps 

for a 

reason....

Here  is a great article about treatment to share with your vet.

REMEMBER: IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR DOG OR CHILD HAS EATEN A DEATHCAP MUSHROOM

THE FIRST 24 HOURS ARE CRITICAL...

IT CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

PICK MUSHROOMS, 

BAG THEM AND THROW THEM OUT...

AND DON'T LET YOUR DOG SEE YOU DIGGING THEM UP, 

FOR IT WILL ONLY PEAK THEIR INTEREST.

  IT IS MY HOPE

THAT LITTLE DONATO, BRUTUS, OTTO , COSBY, BELLA & TRUFFLES,

AND LITTLE DIXIE

WILL CARRY THIS MESSAGE 

AROUND THE WORLD

AND KEEP ALL OF OUR PUPS AND DOGS SAFE
