How to Cultivate Mushrooms. 



Mushrooms may be grown almost anywhere and at any season of 

 the year, so long as the conditions required are reasonably consider- 

 ed. During the Summer months they may be grown out of doors 

 and an abundant supply secured at a trifling expense. The locations 

 should in all cases be rather dry than damp, and a uniform tempera- 

 ture as near 75 degrees as possible is of primary importance. Horse 

 manure free from litter or straw, mixed with a fifth part of good 

 soil, is the best compost of which to form the beds. Three or four 

 feet wide, eight inches deep and auy length desired are the proper proportions for the 

 bed. In forming bed pack as firmly as possible, beating it with the back of a spade or 

 any convenient implement. It is well to bear in mind that the careful preparation of the 

 bed has more to do with the fiual result than even the spawn ; for a bed carelessly prepared 

 will certainly produce poor Mushrooms. 



A few days before spawning it is advisable to expose the spawn to a moderate warm 

 moisture, which will ensure a safer and more rapid growth. When the temperature of the 

 bed is from 70 to 80 degrees it may be spawned by inserting parts of the spawn, about 

 half the size of the hand, four iuches deep and about ten inches apart; cover with a thin 

 layer of soil, and in about a week a further covering of two inches of soil should be given. 

 If needed give a slight shower of tepid water. When the bed is in a cellar or otherwise 

 under cover where an even temperature is maintained, nothing further is necessary. If, 

 however, in the opeu air or exposed to change of weather, it should be covered with straw 

 or hay to help secure a uniform temperature. When this or other covering is removed to 

 perform auy operation, it must be replaced with the least possible delay. Between spawn- 

 ing and cropping, four to six weeks usually elapse and while beariug, the beds must never 

 be allowed to become too dry. When gathering the Mushrooms it will facilitate continued 

 bearing if the empty spaces are filled with the same soil as used for covering and fertility 

 may be further increased or prolonged by applying a weak solution of guano, nitrate of 

 soda or saltpeter. Price, 60c. per pound.
