So I'd like to add mushroom spores to grow some specific mushrooms in the tank with my Marms, the mushrooms I'm interested in adding are various oyster mushroom species, as well as flourescent mushrooms, I haven't been able to find any information on whether any of these specific mushrooms or their spores are toxic to newts, whether ingested, or just their presence

They don't eat any of the mushrooms growing in the tank already to begin with so I'm not worried about that, I'm mostly just unsure if even the presence of the spores or mushrooms is bad for them

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
