MUSHROOMS—American Pure Culture 
MUSHROOMS 
Ten bricks will spawn 100 square feet (10x10 feet) 
Mushroom beds may be made in a warm, dry cellar, or in any building 
where the frost does not penetrate and in the open air during the Summer 
and Fall months. About two or three weeks before the beds are to be made 
collect a quantity of fresh horse manure without the straw, place it in a 
heap under cover, and as it heats keep turning it over once or twice a week,^ 
until the heat has become exhausted, which will require from 10 to 14 days' 
time. When the manure is in a condition to be made up lay out your bed, 
according to your requirements, say 3 feet wide, 10 feet long and from 
2 to 3 feet deep-, beat it down well with the back of the spade as the process 
of building goes on. When the bed has been made some time, say a week 
or thereabouts, and the heat sufficiently declined to a temperature of 65 or 
75 degrees, the spawn may be put into it. Break the spawn in pieces 
2 inches square, and put them 6 inches apart, all over the bed-, then cover 
the bed with 2 inches of rich soil. When the soil looks dry give a gentle 
watering with tepid water, using a rose on the watering pot. Good crops 
of Mushrooms can be obtained by spawning the hotbeds in Spring.

Bottle Spawn, A New Process 
One quart will spawn 35 square feet 
In this new method the spores are propagated in sterile glass 
bottles, the spawn removed, dried, and packed in cartons. Ex¬ 
cluded from the Spawn are the spores of other fungous growths, 
many of which are highly poisonous; no insect eggs, flies, or weed 
seeds. Pieces the size of a nut are planted in the usual way. 
Produces white Mushrooms. As this spawn is perishable, orders 
are filled direct from factory.
