I suppose the music of the Mushroom era was fantastic, we'll remember it forever. But there are lessons to learn from the story.
It was great music but it was very expensive during a time when when making music was expensive. As an independent label Mushroom probably outsourced everything. Manufacturing and distribution to Festival Records and studio time to independent studios. It was an expensive business model which is probably why a lot of Mushroom acts might not have made much money until or unless they went on to sign with other labels.
