Mushroom Case Daily

ABC listen

Once the proceedings begin, this podcast will bring you all the key updates from the case involving accused triple murderer, Erin Patterson, and an allegedly poisonous mushroom lunch. If and when the case proceeds to a full trial, we'll cover it daily. It's the case that's captured the attention of the world. Erin Patterson, charged with three counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder, is now waiting for her day in court. She says she's innocent. The charges stem from a Beef Wellington lunch at Erin Patterson's home in Leongatha, regional Victoria. A week after the meal, three diners were dead with a fourth in hospital. Police say they will allege the diners displayed symptoms consistent with having eaten death cap mushrooms. When the proceedings start, Mushroom Case Daily will be your eyes and ears inside the courtroom. ABC Court Reporter, Kristian Silva, will bring you a rundown of the day's developments. There will be a new episode every day court sits, dropping in your feed once the proceedings finish.

Listen to the last episode:

There are very few people who’ve survived a death cap mushroom poisoning. Simon Claringbold is one of them. In this episode he describes what it was like in ‘the death zone,’ as his vision narrowed and he accepted his fate, before a miraculous turnaround saw him walk out of hospital.
