11 Amish Family Members Hospitalized After Consuming Toxic Mushrooms

The family, including nine children, fell ill after foraging wild mushrooms in Pennsylvania's Peach Bottom Township.

The incident was declared a 'mass casualty' as 11 people, ranging from ages 1 to 39, were affected.
A family member walked half a mile to a phone booth to call for emergency services due to the lack of a home telephone.
All individuals were transported to WellSpan York Hospital and have since been released after treatment.
The Delta-Cardiff Volunteer Fire Company and multiple EMS units responded to the emergency late Friday night.
Officials warn against consuming wild mushrooms without expert identification due to the risk of poisoning.
