Mushrooms 



Culture. Mushrooms may be grown in cellars, under benches in greenhouses, or in sheds wherever the tempera- 

 ture of 50 degrees can be kept up during the winter. The beds should be made from November to February , accord- 

 to the time the Mushrooms are wanted, and it requires about two months for them to begin bearing. Secure 

 fresh horse dung, free from straw and litter and mix an equal bulk of loam from an old pasture witn it. Keep this 

 under cover, taking care to turn it every day to prevent it from htating, until the pile is large enough to make a bed 

 of the required size. Three or four feet wide, eight inches deep and any length desired are the proper proportions for 

 a bed; but this may be varied. Prepare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed in layers and pounding 

 down each with the back of a spade. Leave this to heat through for a few days, and as soon as the heat subsides to 90 

 degrees, make holes in the bed about a foot apart each way, into which put pieces of spawn 2 or 3 incher in diameter; 

 fill up the hole with compost, and at the expiration of a week or ten days the spawn will have thoroughly diffused 

 itself through the bed. Spread layer of soil over the heap to the depth of 2 inches, and cover with 3 or 4 inches of hay, 

 straw or litter. Examine bed often to see that it does not get dry. Take special care, however, when water is given 

 that it be at a temperature of 100. One brick to a bed 6 feet square.
