It is suspected the four people were served mushrooms known as death caps - which are responsible for 90% of all toxic mushroom-related fatalities
According to her statement, Ms Patterson served the meal and allowed the guests to choose their own plates. She then took the last plate and ate some of the beef Wellington herself.
Contrary to initial reports from police, who said Ms Patterson's children were present but did not eat the meal, the children had actually gone to the cinema. She said the mushrooms used to prepare the meal were a mixture of button mushrooms purchased at a supermarket, and dried mushrooms purchased at an Asian grocery store in Melbourne several months ago, which were in a hand-labelled packet.
