I am not a vet.
You do have a problem. He may have swallowed some or he may not. It may
be a safe mushroom or a poisonus one. I believe I read that you could
induce vomiting in a ferret by giving it a teaspoon of 50% water & 50%
hydrogen peroxide. Beyond that, all I can think to do is either go to an
emergency vet or just watch him for any weird signs.
