California health officials are sounding the alarm after four people died and several others required liver transplants from eating toxic death cap mushrooms. The state has recorded over three dozen poisonings since November, driven by a super bloom following heavy winter rains. Experts warn that the mushrooms, which often grow under oak trees, are easily confused with edible varieties by foragers.
