steven100 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) What a story ...... Is she guilty or was it an innocent mistake ? Four relatives came to lunch. Three died with symptoms of ‘death cap’ mushroom poisoning A meal of suspected death cap mushrooms served at a family lunch in late July is at the center of a homicide investigation in Australia following the deaths of three guests less than a week later. Erin Patterson served the meal to her former parents-in-law and her mother-in-law’s sister and husband, who were guests at her home in the town of Leongatha in southern Victoria, on July 29, according to Victoria Police. Within days, Gail Patterson, 70, and her sister Heather Wilkinson, 66, died in hospital, followed by Gail’s 70-year-old husband, Don, a day later. source: https://us.yahoo.com/news/four-relatives-came-lunch-three-052120780.html Edited August 12, 2023 by metisdead 14) You will not post any copyrighted material except as fair use laws apply (as in the case of news articles).

Lacessit Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Foraging for mushrooms is commonplace in many countries. MY GF loves collecting dark brown fungi that look like turds to me. Aroi mak. The death cap toadstool is easily mistaken for normal mushrooms with a white top and pink gills, particularly in the early growth stages. I only collect that species when the gills have turned brown. Personally, I prefer what I call horse mushrooms, with a brown top and nearly black gills, much more flavor. Was it deliberate? Probably not. If it was, quite stupid to use something easily identified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even seen them on the fairways where I play golf in Chiang Rai. They are very common. The orange fungi which seem to be mainly associated with pine forests are toxic if eaten raw. They need to be boiled until grey, after which they smell like freshly baked bread. Drain and fry with garlic butter, delicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
