Mushrooms.

An undeveloped industry in the United
States is the cultivation of mushrooms. This
vegetable known as tho Ageaiots Cdmpestus,
grows abundantly in many parts Of tho coun-
try, and Isl fast becoming favorite on our ta-
bles. But as it only makes its appearance in
tho autumn, the consumption is limited to that
season. There are great variety of vegeta-
bio fungi, but people arerathcr chary of using
them because there are known TO be poisonous
species which they cannot readily distin-
guish from the good Many mushrooms arc
eaten out of the bearing season in this country,
but these arc of foreign, growth. Many
thousands of acres are under mushroom cul.
tivation nea: Paris and in other parts Of
France. Besides supplying the homo mar
production for expectation. Many parts of
Europe are supplied from these sources, and
large quantities reach New York from these
farms. They arc regarded as curiosities in
tho neighborhood and attract many visi-
tors. Largo fees are demanded and
paid frequently for tho exhibition of the
larger heads The descent is made to the
mushroom farms by ladders, and the inspec-
tion made by lamplight, as the places in
which they are grown are always dark
The French mushroom is sold in New York
often at one dollar and a quarter per pound,
and dsomctimosabove that price; but no country
presents greater facilities for their cultiva-
ton and growth than this.
All that is required is a place excluding
light, with an even temperature. These con-
ditions are filed in the many caves in Vir-
ginia, Maryland, and kentucky. A great
part of Virginia and Kentucky is honey
combed with caves, many of which remain
unexplored, because there has heretofore
ploration. Most of these caves will no dou BIT
be found admirably adapted to mushroom
culture. Nothing is needed except stable
refuse and rich woods oarth The plant
ing and gathering give but little trouble,
and long series of crops is made from sim
gle sowing. The mushroom can be cultivated
and put on the market at comparatively
trining cost, and the foreign article, which is
so costly, could not compete with the domes-
tic product. Tho culture of the mushroom on
limited scale has been successfully at
tempted OH tho borders of the Hudson river.
These products arc as good as the imported,
and find ready sale in the New York
market. An experiment was also made
in Mammoth cave, Kentucky, about year
since which was entirely successful as far as
tho product of mushrooms of fine size and
quality was concerned. 1t Is hardly probable
that such promising industry for this coun-
try can be much longer neglected.
