'^SJditake.^' "Spawn of the edible species of Japanese mushroom, which is cultivated 

 on an immense scale in the forests of Japan. It is a tree-inhabiting fungus and the 

 Japanese have developed a special system of culture by means of which they can 

 produce immense quantities at little expense. This spawn was introduced especially 

 for the experiments of Dr. B. M. Duggar, of the Agricultural Experiment Station, 

 Columbia, Mo., and is well worth calling to the attention of the mushroom growers 

 of America, ^vho should be given a chance to test this in comparison with the ordi- 

 nary A. campestris, Avhich is grown almost exclusively on beds of manure. This 

 variety of Agaricus is keenly relished, not only by Japanese but by Europeans living 

 in Japan." {Fcdrchild.)
