CH. 7.] MUSHROOMS. 143 



For this purpofe, the compartment where 

 fire heat is at command, mould always be 

 appropriated to the Winter-beds, and the 

 the fheds, &c. to the Summer ones. 



In gathering the crop, care mould be ta- 

 ken not to pull up or difturb the roots of 

 thofe that are cut, as there are generally 

 many young ones adhering to, or rifing 

 about them. Mufhrooms alfo frequently 

 form, come to maturity, and die away en- 

 tirely under ground in thefe beds, if fuffer- 

 ed; but they are eafily recognifed, as they 

 are general!^ very large, and pufh up little 

 hills like thofe.of moles, above their heads. 

 Difcovering and cutting thefe mould be 

 performed with care, that the fpawn may 

 not be injured.
