The Mushroom Cook follows the case of Erin Patterson, a woman accused of murdering her former in-laws Don and Gail Patterson and Gail's sister Heather Wilkinson.

Heather's husband, Ian Wilkinson, was the only guest to survive. Ms Patterson pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder and is standing trial in Morwell.
