Inside the Mushroom Murder Trial: Erin Patterson, Facebook Secrets & Australia’s Most Chilling Lunch


Welcome to The Mushroom Murder Trial Podcast — your insider account of the shocking case that gripped Australia and the world. I’m Lisa, and I knew Erin Patterson before she became infamous as the Mushroom Killer.
In 2019, we crossed paths in a Facebook true crime group while investigating the Kelly Lane child killer case. Back then, Erin seemed like just another mum fascinated by crime. Today, she is convicted of murder and attempted murder after serving a fatal Beef Wellington laced with death cap mushrooms at a family lunch in Leongatha.
This podcast takes you behind the headlines and into the online world where Erin thrived. From hidden Facebook identities to fractured friendships, from her obsession with serial killers like Ivan Milat to her role in amateur sleuth groups, we uncover the digital breadcrumbs that foreshadowed her descent into darkness.
Through court reporting, personal insights, and analysis of social media crime culture, you’ll hear how a seemingly ordinary woman’s obsession blurred into real life — with deadly consequences.
