About this listen

In this bonus episode, we provide an exclusive transcript of Erin's barrister Mr. Colin Mandy SC conducting the final cross-examination in the Mushroom Murder Trial, methodically addressing key points of contention and establishing crucial facts about mushroom foraging seasons.

• Cross-examination reveals wild mushroom foraging is seasonal (autumn only) and would be "incredibly unproductive" in December
• Defense establishes Erin was in New Zealand for approximately half of December 2022, when prosecution claims she should have mentioned foraging
• Mr. Mandy corroborates Erin's account about her daughter's ballet rehearsal with evidence of Simon Patterson cancelling the lesson
• Discussion of Erin's low potassium levels (2.6) and subsequent treatment with supplements while hospitalized
• Erin acknowledges iNaturalist searches were "most likely" her while maintaining she has no specific memory of conducting them
