A user of our English brick spawn says : " I never saw a 

 better or more potent article. The mycelium penetrated every 

 part of the brick." 



In much of the spawn on the market the mycelium or mush- 

 room "root" does not permeate the whole mass. Half the 

 brick is barren and worthless. Dreer's English Milltrack is the 

 best that can be procured.
