About This Book
Excerpt from Mushroom Culture Its Extension and ImprovementTo these reasons I might add a wish to call attention to the waste of money for Mushroom-spawn that now occurs in nearly every garden. There is not the slightest necessity for this. In every garden where Mushrooms are grown abundance of spawn may be made. Mr. W. P. Ayres writes lately to tell me that in a great midland garden where the spawn bill used to amount to 181. Or 191. A year, by saving the spawn as the Parisian growers do, all expense for this article is abolished.
