Sorry for the duplicate!!
I’m going to step back today but here’s a recap from the Guardian. Notice number 4 where she talks about eating the cake then barfing it back up. The guests left around 3:30 so the cake incident would have been at least two hours later. Any mushrooms she ate would have been at least partially digested by then, more than enough time for the toxins to get busy.
If she had barged immediately after the lunch I might buy her insinuation that she somehow purged the death caps but 2, maybe more hours later? I don’t believe it. If she barfed I doubt there were any death caps in her stomach. Ever. JMO

Day 26 recap
While we wait for today’s proceedings to get under way, here’s a reminder of what the jury heard on Wednesday:
1.
Patterson said her estranged husband,
Simon, accused her of trying to poison his parents using a dehydrator the days after the lethal lunch. Patterson says Simon asked, “Is that how you poisoned my parents … using that dehydrator?”
2. The accused said she believes there is a “possibility” she unintentionally added foraged mushrooms to her beef wellington mix while trying to improve its “bland” flavour.
3. Patterson says she lied to her lunch guests about requiring cancer treatment because she was “embarrassed” to tell them about plans for weight loss surgery. “I was ashamed of the fact that I didn’t have control over my body or what I ate,” she said.
4. Patterson said she ate the remainder of a cake brought by her mother-in-law,
Gail, to the fateful lunch. She says after consuming the cake in the evening, she felt “over-full” and “brought it back up again”.
5. Patterson also admitted she lied to Gail about requiring a needle biopsy the month before the lunch. She said when she mentioned a lump in her arm, her in-laws showed a lot of care, which “felt really nice”. “I shouldn’t have done it,” she said.
