In this episode of **The Mushroom Murder Trial Podcast**, we again dive into the chilling crimes surrounding Erin Patterson and her deadly Beef Wellington lunch that turned a family gathering into a tragic event. We speak to John Ferguson, from The Australian, who was the first journalist to reveal the story of the mass food poisoning lunch.

He is an Associate Editor of The Australian and has been a multi-award winning journalist for 40 years. He has filed scoops including the charging – and later acquittal – of George Pell with child sex crimes and the mushroom poisoning case which was reported across the globe. You won't believe what he says about Patterson…

The Mushroom Murder Trial Podcast provides on-the-spot coverage of one of Australia's most prominent court trials, focusing on the case of the Department of Public Prosecutions versus Erin Trudi Patterson, plus the aftermath.
Join us as we follow this high-profile case through the Australian legal system, examining the significant ramifications of that ill-fated meal. With Erin Patterson pleading not guilty, we’ll explore what this means in the context of such a shocking crime.
