MUSHROOM SPAWN 
Mushrooms are easily grown in the cellar or in dark rooms where a temperature of from 
50 to 65 degrees can be maintained. In making the bed, use fresh, clean, stable manure, 
without much straw. Before placing it in the bed, the manure pile should be turned over a 
few times. The bed 
should have at least 10 
inches of solid manure. 
Put thi in, in two 
layers, and tramp each 
one down well. Test 
the heat of the man- 
ure with a thermom- 
eter, and when the 
temperature is on the 
decline and between 
90 and 100 degrees, in- 
sert pieces of Spawn, 
each about the size of 
an egg, 10 inches apart, 
and 2 inches deep. After ten days, spread on a layer of fresh, weU-manured loam. If the 
temperature is right, Mushrooms should come up freely six weeks after spawning. We 
furnish full cultural directions with each order.
