Culture. Mushrooms may be grown in cellars, under benches in greenhouses, or in sheds wherever the temperature 
of 50 degrees can be kept up during the Winter. The beds should be made from November to February, according 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 ofloam from an old pasture with it. Keep this under cover, taking 
care to turnit every day to prevent itfrom heating, until the pile is large enough to make a bed of the required size. Three 
or four feet wide, eight inches deep and any Jength 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 boles in the bed about a 
foot apart each way, into which put pieces of spawn 2 or 3 inches in diameter; fill up the hole with compost, and at the 
expiration of a week or 19 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
