The doctor told the court:

One of the types comes from supermarkets, and the top is plastic, she said. She said she got another pack from Asian food stores a few weeks ago.

Stewart said that Irene said she no longer packs dried mushrooms from Asian grocers.

She said they were in the pack, but she unpacked them and placed them in a container.

Stewart said Erin told her that Asian grocery stores had been in Oakleigh or Glen Waverley.

She said she didn't remember it, but maybe if she drove past the store, she would recognize it.

She did say they had a strong smell.

Stewart said she asked Erin if she had ever been foraging for food by mushrooms. The court heard that Erin told her that she did not, and only used the store-bought mushrooms.

Stewart said Erin asked her why she asked:

I said I tried to make sure there were no public health issues.

No cross-examination.

Erin Patterson's son's flight coach says Patterson is "gruntted" by phone after mushroom lunch

The next written statement comes from Ulysses Villaloboshe is the flight coach of Erin's son.

He said his son had booked three flight classes with him, but two were required to be cancelled due to poor weather. Villalobos said he held a class with Erin's son on July 2, 2023.

He described meeting Erin for the first time:

She seemed very easygoing. There is nothing to note. Just a typical mom takes their son to a weekend event.

He said that due to poor weather, he called Erin the day after lunch to cancel his son’s class:

She has a bad temper towards me. She started complaining to me. It was unfair that she had to drive for an entire hour.

The prosecutor has called their next witness, a friend Aileen Patterson's son. Children's friends cannot be named for legal reasons.

His written statement is being read to the jurors. He recalled spending the night at Erin's son's house the night before lunch. In the statement, a friend described the morning of lunch on July 29:

Erin said someone is here. She didn't say anyone.

After going to McDonald's and the cinema, a friend described returning to Erin's home after lunch:

I think when we walked in there there was a plate on the dining table. I think it was (Eileen's son) grandma who cleaned the table.

There are some plates in the kitchen sink. I think they are whiteboards.

He said Erin seemed to be "like her normal self" when she sent him home on lunch night.
