Not safe

Guinea pigs should not eat mushrooms, especially Amanita muscaria and Amanita phalloides, as they are toxic to them. These mushrooms contain chitin and excessive protein, making them poorly digestible and could potentially cause harm to the guinea pig’s digestive system. In addition, these specific species of mushrooms are poisonous to guinea pigs and could be fatal if consumed.
