Ten pounds will spawn a bed ten feet square. CULTTTEE.âAny one in possession of an outhouse or cellar, and who can command a temperature of from 50° to 60°, may at any time secure a good supply of mushrooms. The best method is to procure enough short, fresh manure to make a bed from fourteen to eighteen inches deep, and any size the house can conveniently hold. Throw the manure into a heap for a few days, until it becomes heated, and the greater part of the moisture is thrown off, then spread it out for a daj' or two until dn,- and quite cool, after which put it again in a heap, and allow it to remain five or six days. It will then be fit to make a bed, which must not be deeper than stated above. As soon as the heat is about 74°, the bed is ready to receive the spawn. This must be broken in pieces about the size of a large walnut, which should be placed in the manure about two inches below the sur- face, and six inches apart. The bed should then be covered about two inches deep with fine light soil, and pressed down evenly. If the temperature is- right,' the mushrooms will make their appearance in from four to six weeks, according to- the season. After the bed has been spawned do not water un- less quite dry, and then use lukewarm water onlv. ^^^^^^. A BED OF MUSHROOMS. ENGLISH SPAWN. â lit bricks, each 15 cents ; per doz
