Does anyone KNOW if mushrooms are good or bad for dogs?

I have been making my own dog food for about 6 months and I am trying to get them more variety. I need to get one of those good cook books but I haven’t yet. I have learned a lot about cooking for dogs but I haven’t read anything about mushrooms. When I searched online I got a 50 / 50 answer. I do not want opinions or half answers. Obviously wild mushrooms are bad for dogs. I would really appreciate an educated opinion because there are so many people that think any human food is bad for dogs. This makes me laugh because that is what they use in good dog foods. I researched for about 6 months before I started making food and I started slowly. None of my 3 dogs have ever got runny poop and I know I am doing well with the ,mixture because the texture and color of poop is perfect. Anyway I need a real answer and I don’t know where else to look. I do feed my dogs Canidae once a day as well. I do not see mushrooms in any food ingredient lists for dog food but that does not always mean it is not good for them. Sometimes it is the cost or the way it preserves.

Preserving Plants During The Winter?

We have a variety of plants in our backyard and since its been cold here in Vegas, they are looking brown and dry- like they are dying. We are told by the water company to only water once a week. The plants out there are all different- mostly desert type plants that do well in the heat. I’ve tried Miracle Grow during their weekly watering and they still don’t look very good. Is there anything that I can do to help them stay alive until the weather warms up other than just the basic covering them with burlap– any kind of plant food that works really well etc?

Is this sentence a participial, gerund, or an infinitive phrase?
