275.
Artificial
Mushroom
Beds.
Mushrooms
may
be
grown
in
pots,
boxes,
or
hampers.
Each
box
may
be
about
three
feet
long,
one
and
a
half
broad,
and
seven
inches
in
depth.
Let
each
box
be
half
filled
with
manure
in
the
form
of
fresh
horse-dung
from
the
stables,
the
fresher
the
better,
but
if
wet,
it
should
be
allowed
to
dry
for
three
or
four
days
before
it
is
put
into
the
boxes.
When
the
manure
has
been
placed
in
the
box
it
should
be
well
beaten
down.
After
the
second
or
third
day,
if
the
manure
has
begun
to
generate
heat,
break
each
brick
of
mushroom
spawn
(which
may
be
obtained
from
any
seedsman)
into
pieces
about
three
inches
square,
then
lay
the
pieces
about
four
inches
apart
upon
the
surface
of
the
manure
in
the
box;
here
they
are
to
lie
for
six
days,
when
it
will
probably
be
found
that
the
side
of
the
spawn
next
to
the
manure
has
begun
to
run
in
the
manure
below;
then
add
one
and
a
half
inch
more
of
fresh
manure
on
the
top
of
the
spawn
in
the
box,
and
beat
it
down
as
formerly.
In
the
course
of
a
fortnight,
when
you
find
that
the
spawn
has
run
through
the
manure,
the
box
will
be
ready
to
receive
the
mould
on
the
top;
this
mould
must
be
two
and
a
half
inches
deep,
well
beaten
down,
and
the
surface
made
quite
even.
