Default Mushrooms?

Usually I just reference this list to find out if I can feed something to my hamster or not, but I noticed that it doesn't say anything about mushrooms.

Can hamsters eat mushrooms? The store-bought, safe for humans variety, of course. Not some random ones I picked up in the woods. :P

I wouldnt feed them but I have no idea if they are ok or not. It just seems like a very unhamsterish food for some reason.

There doesn't seem to be a conclusive answer to this anywhere but I know some people do feed mushrooms with no apparent harm so they probably are safe.
It's one of those personal choice things really, I've never given them to mine.

In my opinion, I wouldn't risk giving them if they're not on that list

I also refer to that list as well as ErinsAnimals' one on her website

None of mine even like mushrooms, they stick their noses up at it

Hmm. :/ I generally err on the side of caution with my hamster, so I guess I won't give her any mushrooms. I'd never forgive myself if I gave her some and it made her sick.

I thought mushrooms were toxic as I read it once, but maybe I made that up in my head!
