In a spore-filled plot ripe for a dark Netflix series, Australian judge served triple-murderer Erin Patterson a life sentence with a non-parole period of 33 years after she poisoned four relatives of her estranged husband with notoriously lethal death cap mushrooms. Forget breaking up over text—Patterson’s version involved fungi that could kill faster than any passive-aggressive Facebook post. While we don't have her Netflix password, Patterson clearly mastered slow-cooked revenge served cold with deadly dinner party vibes. The poison? Death cap mushrooms, the criminal world’s equivalent of a one-star Yelp review you can’t survive.
