I think the lack of response is due to no one actually knowing.

I would have no idea if mushrooms are edible for torts, mushrooms are fungi and not easily digestible, they thrive in very damp and humid conditions, where as most torts don't

Due to lack of evidence I would suggest they are possibly not a good food source for torts

Not a suitable diet but don't worry if he finds one on his travels.

If forms a staple part of the 'Impressed Tortoise' diet but not any other species.
