Many growers who produce good mush- rooms during the first few weeks of a bed's bearing have not the happy faculty of maintaining the quality of the produce as the beds get older. The mushrooms that at first were thick and juicy become smaller and comparatively dry after a time. Xo one would think of allowing crop after crop of one kind of a slower growing vegetable to be taken from a piece of ground without anything being added to maintain its fertility, yet this is just what is expected from mush- rooms.
