Mandy asked Patterson whether at some stage she began to realize the toxic mushrooms grown in Gippsland.

“I did,” Patterson said.

She said she also found mushrooms on her property "may be toxic to dogs." She said these include inocybe.

The poisonous mushroom species in Gippsland "should not be eaten."

When asked about the Death Cap, Patterson said:

During this time, I had realized the death hat.

She said she looked up to see if they were growing up in South Gippsland and found that “they didn’t.”

Mandy brings his client to previous evidence to prove the search history found on the computer she caught in her home. It shows a webpage visiting the Death Cap Mushroom Witnesses in May 2022.

"Are you searching?" Mandy said.

I don't particularly remember doing that day, but it could be me.

It's part of the process I went through to see if they grew up in Gippsland.

Mandy asked, “Have you ever forage for mushrooms in the lake?”

"No," Patterson said.

Mandy asked: "Have you ever forage for mushrooms in Outtrim?"

"No," Patterson replied.

Patterson said she could not see the post covering Thomas May's death hat mushroom sightings on Thomas May's Thomas May's on the Lake.

Patterson said she didn't.

Patterson put on glasses as he looked at the pictures on the screen in the witness box.

Mandy asked the client about photos of mushrooms on newspaper pages.

“That was on the bench in my kitchen,” she said.

Patterson said it was taken away from her home in Korumburra.

Show mushrooms in the newspaper in another photo. Patterson said the person in the background was her daughter.

Reminder, the suppression order prevents any Patterson child from being named.

Mandy brings Patterson to her previous evidence that she is interested in wild mushrooms starting in early 2020.

He shows a court image of the SD card policeman caught from Leongatha Patterson's home.

Some images show mushrooms arranged on the pages of the newspaper. Others are close-ups of wild mushrooms.

Mandy asked Patterson if it was the image she took.

“Yes, I did,” she said.

Patterson said she took the photos “early 2020” during the first Covid lockdown.

The jury also showed the video's stillness. In some states of static, two people were arrested. Patterson said they were her children when her voice started to break.

"We're on the railroad tracks. I believe that came out of Leongatha Trailhead," Patterson said.

The jury entered Mowell's court.

Patterson, wearing a grey jumper, returned to the witness box to provide evidence for the third day.

Defense attorney Colin Mandy SC is questioning his client.

This reminds the jury that Tuesday heard:

1. Aileen Patterson She said she accepted Wellington Beef Wellington, and she provided death cap mushrooms to lunch guests on July 29, 2023.

2. Patterson said she became interested in wild mushrooms during her Covid walk in early 2020 when she noticed them in the Korumburra Botanical Garden.

3. The defendant said she wished she had never chatted with her online friends in a private Facebook group chat, "I vowed to fuck God" and had something to do with her in-laws University Teacher and Gail Patterson. She told the court she was "shamed" about it.

4. Patterson told the court she was not diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She said she was worried about possible ovarian cancer and described her history of consulting Google to study symptoms.

5. Patterson detailed his daughter’s health history, including being diagnosed with an ovarian mass in 2014. She said from her daughter’s birth that she believed there was a problem when she cried a lot, but the doctor told her that she was an overly anxious mother. Patterson said she eventually lost confidence in the healthcare system.

Patterson, 50, encountered three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in connection with a beef Wellington lunch at his house in Leongatha, Victoria on July 29, 2023.

She was accused of murdering her in-laws, University Teacher and Gail Pattersonthe aunt of her estranged husband, Heather Wilkinson. Attempted murder is related to Heather's husband Ian.

She pleaded not guilty to the charges.
