The Hartford Courant reports that 40-year-old Shah Noor cooked the mushrooms from her backyard for dinner for her family last Thursday. The next day, though, Noor, her husband and two daughters went to St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center after they all started vomiting and suffering extreme stomach pains.
The family ate mushrooms from the deadly Amanita bisporigera species, also known as “destroying angels.”
“Amanita bisporigera is what I believe she ate, which contains the Amanitin toxin that damages the liver cells,” Danyal Ibrahim, a St. Francis toxicologist, told WVIT-TV.
