Thank you for staying with us for the verdict of Erin Patterson's triple-murder trial.

To recap, a jury found Patterson guilty of three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder for feeding her guests a lunch laced with death cap mushrooms.  

For more on this story, keep up to date with the latest via the ABC News website.

But in the meantime, my colleagues Kristian Silva, Joseph Dunstan and Danielle Bonica have put together this comprehensive look at the trial that captured the world's attention.

Throughout the trial, there was plenty of evidence that Erin Patterson's mother-in-law Gail Patterson was attentive and loving.

She'd repeatedly checked on her daughter-in-law about health conditions the trial heard were made up by Erin.

Erin herself told the court Gail had been an invaluable support for her during her early period of motherhood.

Gail had also marked out the date of the beef Wellington lunch in her diary.

"Lunch at Erin's w Heather + Ian."

A jury today found it was a lunch where Gail was murdered by her daughter-in-law.

These photos were taken a week after the lunch, on August 5, 2023. 

In it, Erin Patterson is handing over a phone to police after a search of her house. 

Prosecutors told the trial the phone, dubbed Phone B, was handed over by Erin in a bid to avoid giving police Phone A, which they said was her usual phone and was never recovered. Erin denied this. 

Erin told the trial she ran two factory resets on Phone B because "I knew that there were photos in there of mushrooms and the dehydrator and I just panicked".

I've been here for a few weeks, but my colleague Sacha Payne has been covering this story from the very first day the suspected mushroom poisonings made headlines.

We asked her about her reflections on covering the trial:

There have been so many twists and turns along the way. I've been living out of a motel room in Morwell for more than 10 weeks, like so many of us. It's a very unusual situation. Most assignments would never go for this long and it's certainly the longest trial I've ever followed as well.

Reporting remotely has lots of challenges. It's been tough at times, being away from family and friends and everything familiar. But the town has welcomed us so warmly and it's really made a genuine difference. It's nice that the security guards at the courts, the motel staff and the people in the local cafes have remembered our names and often given us encouragement to keep doing a good job, "not long now!"

The interest in this trial has been intense, but it's been really important to remind ourselves that three people have died, leaving a huge hole in a large extended family which is still grieving. Lots of those family members have been in the court every day, so it's hard to forget, none of this is about us.

This is the invoice for the Sunbeam FoodLab dehydrator Erin Patterson bought on April 28, 2023.

The prosecution had alleged Patterson made the $229 purchase after deliberately picking death cap mushrooms at Loch, 10 days after the deadly species was flagged there on iNaturalist.

Patterson had denied she'd deliberately foraged death caps, telling the court she had bought the dehydrator so she could preserve mushrooms and a variety of fruits.

Darren Fox, the owner and manager of Hartley Wells Betta Home Living in Leongatha, gave evidence to the trial about Patterson's purchase.

He said one of his employees had told him in November 2023 that they believed they had sold a dehydrator to Patterson earlier in the year.

Leongatha Hospital doctor Veronica Foote told the trial how beef Wellington leftovers retrieved from a bin at Erin’s house were brought to the hospital on the Monday after the lunch. 

“It was in a paper bag ... and the registrar from Monash Medical Centre asked me to take a photo of it to send it to her to see if she could identify the mushroom in the filling,” she told the trial. 

“With gloves on, I took the samples out of the bag, put them on a clean A4 sheet of copy paper and took the photos.” 

The trial heard parts of the leftovers later tested positive to a toxin found in death cap mushrooms. 

The prosecution alleged Erin Patterson travelled to nearby towns Loch and Outtrim to deliberately forage death caps mushrooms, after seeing them flagged on community nature website iNaturalist.

Here are some of the posts from April 2023 they alleged she saw, which show photos of death cap mushrooms the user says were growing in Loch.

Released CCTV footage shows Erin Patterson leaving Leongatha Hospital two days after the fatal lunch.

She is seen having a conversation with medical staff before eventually signing a discharge form and then walking out of the hospital. 

Doctors at the time were concerned for her welfare, having just told her they suspected she'd been exposed to death cap mushroom toxins like her guests.

Erin told doctors she needed to go back home before being admitted as a patient, to look after her animals and pack her daughter's ballet bag.

But the prosecution alleged her absence of roughly 90 minutes from hospital occurred because she was shocked doctors had already discovered death cap mushroom poisoning was behind her guests' illnesses. It was a claim Erin denied.

Korumburra Baptist Church has paid tribute to Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson, the victims of Erin Patterson's deadly lunch.

The church, where the sole surviving guest Ian Wilkinson is a pastor, posted a statement on its noticeboard following today's guilty verdict. 

"We all greatly miss Heather, Don and Gail whether we were friends for a short time or over 20 years," the statement says.

"They were very special people who loved God and loved to bless others. 

"The Wilkinson and Patterson families have asked that people respect their privacy at this time."

The release of exhibits by the Supreme Court is probably giving you a sense of the sheer volume of material presented to the jury during the trial.

These next two images were extracted from Erin Patterson's tablet device.

They were shown to several people during the trial, including fungi expert Tom May who identified the mushrooms in them as death caps with a “high level of confidence”.

The prosecution asserted that the photos were taken by Erin Patterson and showed her weighing death cap mushrooms she’d picked from Loch after seeing the toxic species flagged on iNaturalist.

Erin denied this and said she did not remember taking the photos, but agreed she likely had done.
