MUSHROOM SPAWN 
Ten pounds will spawn about 10 feet square. 
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. Having procured the spawn, the next thing to 
be attended to is to make preparation for the beds. 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 fiery heat has become exhausted, which will require 
from ten tofourteen 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. If everything goes on well, you may expect Mushrooms in about 
five or six weeks. 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- 
Pure Culture No. 9 Direct Bricks. An American made spawn which produces large crops of large size,
