No, it was just an observation about the backyard chickens I used to have. I have no idea if my chickens couldn’t eat mushrooms or if they just didn’t care for them.

ahh, that makes sense, thanks. Yeah, in what brief research I did, it does appear like there are a lot of mushrooms that aren’t safe for chickens and lizards, possibly due to their biological differences, but that there were still a good number of mushrooms they could eat.
The interesting thing you were alluding to is that they have some biological instinct to not eat shrooms because maybe it wiped a lot of them out at one point. That’d be super cool to link :)
