Mayurbhanj: Three members of a family of Majhigadia village in Mayurbhanj district were hospitalized in the wee hours on Friday after they reportedly consumed poisonous mushroom.

“The condition of all the three persons is stable. However, they have been kept under observation. People, mostly in rural areas, should be made aware of the danger of consuming poisonous mushrooms that grow in their vicinity during rainy season,” a doctor said.
