We bring you this bonus episode today, on Wednesday April 30th, after the first day of what’s become known as the mushroom trial.

This is the case that centres around a quiet country lunch that resulted in three people dead, and another fighting for life, after the food they ate contained - as a jury was told - death cap mushrooms.

To tell us what unfolded in court today, we’re joined by The Age’s court reporter Erin Pearson.
