From what I've read recently, Asian grocery stores are one of the few places left that are sticking to cash only.
They automatically take a large selection of bloods when a patient presents with gastroenteritis, particularly so close to the fatalities in close associations.
Mushroom cook says she bought fungi from Asian grocer and her children ate the lunch leftovers
Erin Patterson told police she, too, was sick from the beef Wellington lunch that police suspect killed her former in-laws and another relative.www.watoday.com.au
posted that before the latest news broke..
Oh it certainly is a crime here. I think it’s called “perverting the course of justice” or some such name.
No. I'm sorry, but this isn't correct.

Well unfortunately for her the 3 most important aspects are still red flags.
She conveniently can not identify the shop' she purchased the mushrooms from.......
And she did indeed dispose a food dehydrator immediately after the poisoning.
Eating a part of it doesn't give her a pass either...
her symptoms where extremely mild curiously.
Meanwhile her guests died and one nearly died.
I knew she had eaten it but was struggling to find a rep source.
Thank you @PrimeSuspect!
I agree, in that I can see that as a believable reaction to hostility from the ex, which is what I am getting at. And I wonder if behind the facade there has been hostility from the ex for some time. Perhaps passive aggressive in that his friend seems to have been the mouth-piece for the press the last week or so as to suspicions regarding cause of ex's 2022 illness or poisoning by green potatoe or whatever was reported. If she has experienced hostility and suspicions like this from him before, as a pattern, then that makes her reaction with the dehydrator more understandable, Imoo. Just speculation. MooI could see that happening if the attack on her was totally without provocation and she was entirely innocent and shocked..
she might well have..
also possible she did it to stop anybody else placing poison in it in an attempt to blame her.
Woman who cooked suspected poisoned meal details where she bought mushrooms
The woman who cooked a meal that is believed to have contained poisonous mushrooms and led to the deaths of three people gives a lengthy written statement to police detailing her account of what happened, and revealing she was hospitalised after the incident.www.abc.net.au
Yes, a lot of Asian grocery stores accept cash transactions only. As do many farmer's markets.
Possibly because she was so taken aback at his attack on her almost immediately..

IMO she disposed of the dehydrator because it could have incriminated her.
Mushroom cook says she bought fungi from Asian grocer and her children ate the lunch leftovers
Erin Patterson told police she, too, was sick from the beef Wellington lunch that police suspect killed her former in-laws and another relative.
The statement says that when her four guests were hospitalised, Patterson told the Department of Health where she had purchased the mushrooms, and confirmed that samples recovered from the Asian grocery store in containers with handwritten labels were the same as the type she had purchased months before.
So LE went and got a sample from the accused Asian store and showed them to Erin and she 'confirmed"..yeah yeah yeah...they are the same as the ones I bought months ago.
Interesting nobody else has died from mushroom poisoning from this store???
Hand labelled batches would assume easy cross contamination.
Good old look there..not here.
His spokesman friend doesn't seem to like Erin one bit.
I wonder why?
Even though she is much younger, I would have thought if she had of eaten any of the toxic. mushrooms, it wouldn't have taken 2 full days for her to have got sick?
