Triple-murder-accused Erin Patterson's cross examination continues, in Australia's Victoria

The 50-year-old is accused of intentionally serving a poisonous mushroom dish to her estranged husband's family in 2023.

She maintains her innocence.

The ABC's Iskhandar Razak says last week Patterson stated she used bought mushrooms in the meal, but added dehydrated wild ones for extra flavour.

She says she started gathering mushrooms during the pandemic, and cooking them a few months later.
