Australia's mushroom murder trial is set to go down in the history books. 

Erin Patterson was found guilty of murdering her estranged husband's parents and aunt and attempting to kill his uncle with a beef wellington with death cap mushrooms in it. 

Newstalk ZB's Donna Demaio is in Victoria, following developments. 

She told Andrew Dickens hundreds of people have been descending on the small town of Morwell for the trial. 

Demaio says people took time off work and arrived early each morning for a chance to be in court.
