Tortoise eating mushroom

I caught my Russian tortoise eating a mushroom in my backyard and I'm pretty sure that the mushroom was poisonous, and I was wondering what should I do?

Maybe nothing

I read in a credible book Russian tortoises won't eat poisonous foods to them or maybe it wasn't poisonous to tortoises.

Well first you should bring it to a vet if your sure and the metabolism is so slow it would take a year for it to die if it was poisonous. There might be pills or something you can give bit I'm not sure but yes bring it to a vet.
