The Mushroom Pickers

    Set around 2002 in rural Co. Monaghan.

  • Achoimre

    Set in the border 'bandit' country of County Monaghan, The Mushroom Pickers tells the story of Laura, an accomplished actor who leaves her career in London when her life unexpectedly changes course. A self-confessed 'square peg in a round hole,' she returns home to join her father, Philip, to work in the local mushroom tunnels. Here Frank McElroy, manager of the family-run business and proponent of the wilder variety of mushroom, takes a shine to Laura and shares with her his dream of wooing the restaurateurs of Ireland and beyond. But Frank has a secret - and so does Laura.
