Culture. Mushrooms may be grown in cellars, under benches in greenhouses, or in sheds wherever the temperature u^^HP^^^^^^H^^ ^ 



of 50 degrees can be kept up during the Winter. The beds should be made from November to Februarv, according to 

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

 dung, free from straw and litter and mix an equal bulk of loam from an old pasture with it. Keep this under cover, taking 

 care to turu it every day to prevent it from heating, until the pile is large enough to make abed 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 inches in diameter; fill up the hole with compost, and at the 

 expiration of a week or lOdavs 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 (> feet square.
