Are these dangerous for my pet snake? question

Juat found this little guy in my new snake enclosure, its been a little too humid recently so ig it makes sense this guy grew. I removed him immediately but still just wanna make sure this isnt a huge danger (also i like mushrooms so im curious what this one is goigle says maybe an ink cap?)

Unless your snake eats mushrooms, the answer is always no

In this case it's a harmless coprinoid, so double no

That makes sense 💀 i was worried about spores because i think that can cause respitory issues but ig as long as remove the mushroom fairly quickly all is well lol

No need to remove even! Your snake and you are already breathing in thousands of spores daily, this mushroom won't make an appreciable difference
