Treat this as an emergency. Several species of wild mushrooms can cause rapid liver failure or death in cats, and it's impossible to identify safe ones at a glance. Even a small nibble can be dangerous. Contact your vet or an emergency clinic right away; if possible, bring a sample or photo of the mushroom. Do not wait for symptoms, as they can be delayed and severe.
