Two-thirds of all the UK's imported mushrooms come from neighbouring Ireland. This makes the industry vulnerable to the swinging value of the British pound, which fell at the end of June when the UK voted to leave the EU. A number of Irish mushroom exporters have already been put out of business, because their produce has become more expensive for British customers to buy. Diarmaid Fleming reports from County Monaghan, the mushroom capital of Ireland.
