   NEWARK (WABC) -- New Jersey residents are being warned about the dangers   
   of eating wild mushrooms.   
      
   The New Jersey Poison Information and Education System says three people   
   were hospitalized this week - one in critical condition - after they ate   
   mushrooms growing on the lawn of their home in Franklin Township,   
   Somerset County.   
      
   Agency spokesman Bruce Ruck said the victims - a mother, her daughter   
   and son-in-law - are being treated for liver toxicity.   
      
   Ruck said the weather has been perfect for mushrooms to grow and that   
   it's almost impossible to distinguish poisonous mushrooms from edible   
   varieties.   
      
   He said recent immigrants who are used to picking wild mushrooms in   
   their native countries may be especially at risk. The victims in the   
   case this week are from India.
