Mushroom, Murder, and Messages: The Digital Trail

  • Summary

  • The Mushroom Murder Trial podcast examines new evidence in the case against Erin Patterson, who stands accused, but denies, three murders and one attempted murder after allegedly serving deadly death cap mushrooms to her former in-laws.

    • Three women from an online true crime group testify about their interactions with Patterson, including messages about dehydrating mushrooms
    • Court hears Patterson allegedly wrote "I've been hiding powdered mushrooms in everything" in messages before the fatal lunch
    • Patterson purchased a food dehydrator in early 2023 and shared photos of mushrooms being processed
    • Simon Patterson, Erin's estranged husband, denies asking if she used the dehydrator to "poison them"
    • Messages reveal family tensions over parenting, child support claims, and tax declarations
    • According to friends, Patterson complained her husband was "coercive" and "abusive" while portraying herself as a devoted mother
    • Defence maintains the poisoning was accidental, calling it "a tragedy, a terrible accident"
