Many foods that you find delicious can turn out to be poisonous and kill you. Recently, consumption of wild mushrooms led to the dead of six people in Meghalaya, a state in the north eastern part of India. The six deceased persons were among the 18 people who were admitted at a hospital in Shillong after they fell critically ill, supposedly after eating wild mushrooms. They all belong to Lamin village, bordering Bangladesh, in West Jaintia Hills district. They had collected the wild mushrooms from a nearby forest. The other 12 persons have recovered and have been discharged from the hospital. Last month, four people from Assam's Charaideo district and two from Nagaland had also died after consuming poisonous wild mushrooms. Mushrooms are delicious and healthy too.
