The Mushroom Murder Trial Podcast is on hold until Erin Patterson’s trial starts in the Supreme Court of Victoria on April 28, 2025.

This is the insider story about a fatal lunch of beef Wellington with mushrooms, which has fascinated the world.

The Mushroom Murder Trial Podcast is the tale of a family gathering set on a winter’s afternoon in July 2023.

The accused, Erin Patterson, is a woman your podcast host, Lisa, once knew from Facebook true crime group.

Now the aspiring mathematics teacher sits in a Melbourne, Australia, prison unit as she faces, but denies, police charges of three counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder.

The Mushroom Murder Trial Podcast chronicles the lunch’s devastation making its way through the legal system and tragedy surrounding the lunch.

Erin Patterson, age 49, from Leongatha, Victoria, is of course entitled to a fair trial and has entered a plea of not guilty.

The Mushroom Murder Trial Podcast is not implying Erin Patterson deliberately poisoned her relatives with Beef Wellington with mushrooms.
