Mushrooms 
Anyone with a fair understanding of the cultural re- 
quirements can grow Mushrooms successfully in any cli- 
mate and in any season where the following conditions 
obtain: 
1. Good spawn, procured from a reliable source. 
2. A properly prepared bed with reasonable protection 
against weather extremes. 
3. A temperature not greatly exceeding 60° F. nor much 
lower than 50° F. 
4. A fairly moist temperature, avoiding the too fre- 
quent and direct application of water to the beds. 
5. A gradual renewal of the air, avoiding draughts. 
One brick will seed an area of 8 to 10 square feet. One 
quart bottle will seed an area of 35 to 40 square feet, 
depending on the size of piece planted. Full cultural
