MUSHROOM SPAWN 



The idea that good Mushrooms can only be produced in caves, 

 or houses which have been specially built for the purpose, is 

 erroneous. They can be successfully grown in almost any building, 

 cellar or shed, which can be darkened . Beds can be made on ground 

 floor, or on shelves, in tiers; also in the greenhouse under the 

 benches or in spent hot beds. Leaflet giving full cultural instruc-
