A family-run mushroom farm in Queensland has closed its doors after 45 years of operation. The owners stated that increasing operational costs have made the business unviable.

The farm, known for supplying popular supermarket mushrooms, highlighted that the financial pressures have made it impossible to continue in the industry. Reports indicate that this decision follows a trend among agricultural producers facing similar challenges.
