    Hmm this person knew the victim, had a motive, and was really into mycology, and the autopsy had signs of poisoning from a rare mushroom…

      Good deniability though.
      Be publicly into micology and commonly collect mushrooms to cook when you have guests over.
      Only issue would be to somehow plausably not poison yourself to death. Maybe taking little enough you survive.

      And take care you aren’t quite known as fully competent, spread the air of knowledge without any solid proof or association.
      I’ll look like you were a sham and amateur overestimating themselves.

      Or just accidentally run them over with a car.

          Shitty job.
          She lied, behaved irrationally, couldn’t get her story straight ahead of time, scenario too implausible.

          You gotta admit fault, hate yourself for killing everyone. Buying poisonous mushrooms is implausible, admit you got them yourself right away, admit accidentally killing them. Swear to never touch mushrooms again.

          And find a better excuse for not poisoning yourself, noone individually prepares mushroom sauce per person.

      I mean, anyone reading this thread right now has enough information to know that this thing is deadly, so you don’t need to be into mycology to find a way to weaponize it since it can easily be mistaken as edible.

      I typically don’t broadcast my hobbies and my friends wouldn’t speak with the police as a general police
