Mushroom Mania | Erin Patterson

Mushroom Mania | Erin Patterson

Erin Patterson invited her elderly relatives, including her estranged in-laws, over for lunch in late July 2023 in rural Victoria, Australia. She made them a meal of Beef Wellington, which they all enjoyed. She told police that she and her children also consumed the meal.

The day after the lunch, all of the guests became so ill they had to attend hospital. Three of them would pass away, and the fourth is fighting for his life, waiting for a liver transplant.

Erin has given a statement to police saying that she made the meal with dried mushrooms that she purchased from an Asian grocer. She cannot remember the name of the store where she made the purchase. She also threw out her food dehydrator after her husband questioned if she had poisoned his parents.
