How to Grow Mushrooms* Very little need be said about the style of house needed for grow- ing mushrooms. Any outbuilding, cellar, or under the benches of a cool greenhouse, any place where a temperature of 40 to 55 degrees can be maintained, providing the place is dry, mushrooms can be grown. Preparing the Manure* Use eight inches of rough manure in the bottom of the bed and four inches of finer manure mixed with soil on top. Collect the rough material just as though to make up a hotbed. Having the manure quite wet, put in a pile to heat and turn over as needed to keep it from burning. If at any time it should become dry, it should be given a good hosing—not a sprinkle. The fine manure consists of pure horse droppings, or as clean from straw as can be had; to this put one part of soil to four parts of manure, putting in a part of soil at each turning until the quantity of soil is given. It is well to prepare the manure in an open shed; this keeps the weather away from it and it is less liable to get dry or over wet. Keep the hose on it if it should get dry; more failures arise from the manure being too dry when put in the bed than from any other cause. A good size to break up the spawn is to make 15 pieces out of each brick; as it is rather hard, a hatchet should be used to mark it off; it is then easily broken with the hand. Break up as much as is needed to spawn the bed, fill it in a basket, begin at one end of the bed and lay the pieces (which will be about the size of a hen's egg) eight inches apart all over the bed. There is nothing to hinder anyone from growing a crop of mush- rooms if these simple direc
