MUSHROOM SPAWN 
Mushrooms can be grown in cellars, sheds, under benches in greenhouses, or in hot¬ 
beds. They are also planted outside in pasture or sod. It is a very profitable crop both 
for forcing or a field crop. Our cultural instructions are somewhat limited but we can 
furnish a booklet of more extended information on “Success with Mushrooms.’’ Price, 
25c. 
One brick will spawn about 10 feet square. 
Culture. In preparing a Mushroom bed, take three parts of fresh stable manure, 
free from straw, and one part of good pasture soil. Mix thoroughly together and let it 
stand until the heat has sunk to about 90 degrees. Make the bed from this mixture 
about 4 feet wide, 8 inches deep and any desired length. As soon as the temperature 
of the bed is about 70 or 80 degrees, the Spawn may be inserted in pieces 
about the size of a walnut, and 6 inches apart each way. When the 
Spawn is diffused through the whole bed, which will be in about 10 days 
from planting, cover with 2 inches of fine loam and press down firmly. 
Over this place a layer of straw about 4 inches thick. Do not water 
unless the surface gets extremely dry, and then only with water at a 
temperature of 80 degrees. When gathering the crop, twist them off at 
the roots and do not use a knife, 
away from the root.
