In
the
space
of
five
or
six
weeks
the
mushrooms
will
begin
to
come
up;
if
the
mould
then
seems
dry,
give
it
a
gentle
watering
with
lukewarm
water.
The
box
will
continue
to
produce
from
six
weeks
to
two
months,
if
duly
attended
to
by
giving
a
little
water
when
dry,
for
the
mushrooms
need
neither
light
nor
free
air.
If
cut
as
button
mushrooms
each
box
will
yield
from
twenty-four
to
forty-eight
pints,
according
to
the
season
and
other
circumstances.
They
may
be
kept
in
dry
dark
cellars,
or
any
other
places
where
the
frost
will
not
reach
them.
By
preparing
in
succession
of
boxes,
mushrooms
may
be
had
all
the
year
through.--They
may
be
grown
without
the
manure,
and
be
of
a
finer
flavour.
Take
a
little
straw,
and
lay
it
carefully
in
the
bottom
of
the
mushroom
box,
about
an
inch
thick,
or
rather
more.
Then
take
some
of
the
spawn
bricks
and
break
them
down--each
brick
into
about
ten
pieces,
and
lay
the
fragments
on
the
straw,
as
close
to
each
other
as
they
will
lie.
Cover
them
up
with
mould
three
and
a
half
inches
deep,
and
well
pressed
down.
When
the
surface
appears
dry
give
a
little
tepid
water,
as
directed
for
the
mode
of
raising
them
described
above,
but
this
method
needs
about
double
the
quantity
of
water
that
the
former
does,
owing
to
having
no
moisture
in
the
bottom,
while
the
other
has
the
manure.
The
mushrooms
will
begin
to
start
in
a
month
or
five
weeks,
sometimes
sooner,
sometimes
later,
according
to
the
heat
of
the
place
where
the
boxes
are
situated.
