Mushroom Spawn 



Mushrooms may be grown in cellars, under benches or greenhouses or 

 in sheds, wherever the temperature of 50 degrees can be kept up 

 through the winter. The beds should be maae from November to 

 February, according to the time the Mushrooms are wanted, and it 

 requires about 2 months for them to begin bearing. Secure fresh horse 

 manure, 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 turn 

 every day to prevent heating, until the pile is large enough to make 

 a bed the required size. Three or 4 feet wide, 8 inches deep and any 

 length desired are the proper proportions for a bed, but these may be 

 varied. Prepare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed in 

 layers, and pounding down each with the back of the spade. Leave 

 :his 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 the spawn 2 or 3 inches in diameter; fill up the, 

 holes with the compost, and at the expiration of a week or ten days 

 the spawn will have thoroughly diffused itself through the bed. Spread 

 a .layer 01 fresh soil over the heap to the depth of 2 inches and cover 

 with J or 4 inches of hay, straw or litter. Examine the 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 about 100 degrees.
