Two Swedish tourists fell ill after eating mushrooms during a mountain trip in Aurland, Norway, reports NRK.

The police received the alarm during the night to Wednesday. A rescue mission was sent out to help the ill Swedes get down from the mountain. At 12 o'clock, they made it down to the highway and could be taken to the emergency room.

A group of four spent the night in a tent. Two of them have had stomach problems after eating mushrooms, says Stian Loven from the Red Cross.

According to an initial report, the tourists were tired and exhausted. One of them was particularly unwell.

The two Swedish tourists, who are in their 20s, are believed to have fallen ill after eating a type of poisonous mushroom.

A mushroom expert tells NRK that the mushroom can cause stomach problems with vomiting and fever if not cooked properly.

Luckily, this passes after one or two days and is completely harmless afterwards, says the expert.

Corrected: In an earlier version, the mushroom species was described incorrectly.
