ABC’s Mushroom Case Daily podcast returns as trial begins

The ABC’s true crime podcast Mushroom Case Daily has returned, with new episodes covering the trial of Erin Patterson from Morwell’s Latrobe Valley Courthouse.

In 2023, three people died and a fourth survived an induced coma after eating Beef Wellington at a family lunch, hosted by Erin Patterson.

Now, the accused triple murderer is fighting the charges in a regional Victorian courthouse.

ABC court reporter Kristian Silva and producer Stephen Stockwell are on the ground, delivering all the key moments from the trial as they unravel in court.

“We are pleased to be here, and what we really want to do is put you in the courtroom as best as we can,” said Silva. “There’s no television feed for people at home. There’s not a public feed for people to listen in, so, we’re going to do our best to try to be your eyes and ears and tell you what the jury hears.”

Podcast episodes will be released every day that the case appears in court.
