Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode, we will be discussing death by mushroom, we will cover the recent Australia Leongatha Beef Wellington deaths by Erin Patterson, but we will also deep dive into mushrooms themselves - how do they kill, how common is it and how do we make sure not to eat one?!
