Shillong, June 23: At least 14 children fell ill after consuming wild mushroom at a remote hamlet in West Khasi Hills district, officials said on Friday.
The children of Mawpat village near Wahkaji had gone to a nearby jungle to collect wild mushroom and consumed it on June 20 evening, they said.
The 14 children were taken to the primary health centre in the village on June 20 after they complained of severe vomiting, a district official said.
The next day they were shifted to the community health centre. Eleven of them were later discharged and the condition of the three other children is stable, the official said.
Officials from the Food Standards and Safety Authority of India have also rushed to the village to collect the samples of the wild mushroom and get it tested. (PTI)
