MUSHROOM SPAWN. 



Mvishrooms can be readily grown in cellars, sta- 

 bles, sheds or pits. Many are successfully grown 

 on a shelf in an ordinary cellar and yield sufficient 

 crops to compensate the grower for his effort. 



The space under greenhouse benches or stagings 

 will suit them exactly, using materials in same 

 manner as described. 



CULTIVATION. 



The culti\'ation of the Mushroom is a 

 very simple matter and requires only or- 

 dinary intelligence and care. The ma- 

 terials needed are fresh horse manvire, 

 good soil and live spawn. The manure 

 should not be too short, as it does not com- 

 bine the necessary (qualities. Long strawy 

 litter, plentifully mixed with short ma- 

 nure, makes by far the best beds, as it does 

 not heat too violently, decomposes slowly 

 and retains its heat for a long period. Piit 

 in a heap and turn every three or four 

 days to permit the escape of noxious 

 Kases and prevent burning. When ready 

 l or use it should be as hot as can be borne 

 comfortably by the hand, and should also 

 he moist. Make the beds 3 feet wide at 

 the base, 2}^ feet high, and of any desired 

 length. The manure, when in proper con- 

 dition should be quickly handled to pre- 

 vent the loss of heat and be beaten down 

 to make the heap firm and compact, and 

 cover with long litter; Avhen the heat has 

 decreased to 90°, the bed is ready to re- 

 ceive the spawn, which is done by raising 

 the manure with the hand and inserting 

 pieces of spawn 3 inches square, 9 inches 

 apart each way. At the expiration of a 

 few days the bed may be covered with soil 

 to the depth of about two inches. If the 

 soil is poor add a liberal quantity of bone 

 meal.
