The Mushroom is an edible fungus that does not produce seed, but is prop- agated from the white fibers resembling roots, that spread from the base of the stool, termed Spawn. It is grown in out-buildings, cellars, caves, or wherever a uniform temperature of 6o° to 700 can be maintained. Make beds of ferment- ing manure, which should be large and deep enough to acquire a heat of about 700. When at the proper temperature, insert bits of spawn at intervals. As soon as signs of growth appear, place two inches of soil over them, and cover all with straw. Water is used if necessary, which should«be warmed to the temperature of the bed. Mushrooms appear in six to eight weeks, and should be collected when at the proper size for the table. More complete directions are contained in each box.
