Police and medical experts are warning of the dangers of mind-altering magic mushrooms after four Whangarei teens spent 11 hours in cells until the effects wore off.

The youths - 14, 15 and two aged 16 - were arrested at an Otaika Rd house about 2.20am on Tuesday after reports they were breaking into cars.
