True Crime meets Flora Funga Podcast...In this episode, we dive into the chilling real-life case of Erin Patterson, who was convicted in 2025 for murdering three of her in-laws by intentionally serving them Death Cap‑laced Beef Wellington in July 2023. Despite her claims that the deadly fungi were included by accident—due to cross-contamination with foraged mushrooms—the court found she deliberately poisoned her estranged husband’s parents and aunt while a fourth guest survived. Serving individual portions, lying about her own illness, and panicking enough to hide evidence, Patterson now faces life in prison. This eerie blend of culinary trust broken by one of nature's most lethal mushrooms makes for a gripping—and disturbing—episode.
