Mushroom Growing and Mushroom

Mushroom Growing and Mushroom
Spawn Making" is the title of very
interesting bulletin just issued by the
Department of Agriculture This is
subject which, to most farmers, is
surrounded by haze of mystery and
hesitation, owing to the fact that there
are number of species of mushrooms
which are poisonous.
Determining the Poisonous Fungi.
The first question a man will ask Is
How can / tell toadstool from a
mushroom" The Department answers
this question by saying that you can
not tell a mushroom from a toadstool
because mushrooms are toadstools.
The general belief is well-nigh univer-
sal in this country that the fleshy UNI
brella-shaped fungi are divided into
TWO classes-mushrooms, which are
edible, and toadstools, which are poi.
sonous. The assumed difference does
not exist. All leshy umbrella-shaped
fungi are toadstools; number of these
are edible, and commerce applies the
name mushroom; but not small num-

to leave the table without entirely sat

baked apple or piece of beef would

Dinner being the principal meal of

EDIBLE MUSHROOMS.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

Many people who would enjoy mush-
rooms added to their menu are de-
barred because of the difficulty of OBJ
tanning them except at considerable
expense, and because of unfamiliarity
as to methods of home culture.
Mushrooms are easy to grow, and
beginners are often as successful with
them as are those having an extensive
experience. Aside from preparing the
manure and making up the beds, it is
clean crop to handle and occupies lit
tie space. The gathering, sorting, pack
ing and marketing of the mushrooms
can be easily taken care Of by the wom-
en- of the household.
Cellars or basement rooms where the
temperature in the winter does not go
below 55 degrees or does not rise above
IS degrees are suitable places for grow
ing mushrooms. 1t Is hardly advisable
to grow them under the living part Of
the house, since the odor Of the manure
will permeate the dwelling. Stables
that are not too cold in winter are
suitable.
Preparation of the Beds.
The mushroom bed is best prepared
from horse manure that comes from
well-bedded stables. Some straw is de-
sirable, but large percentage is OBJ
jectionable and should be removed.
The manure is cured by putting 1t I'M
der cover in piles three to four feet deep
and of any length and width. 1t usu-
ally requires from ten to fifteen days to
cure, but should not be put in the beds
or boxes until the temperature has

TO MAKE PERFECT PORK.
Method of Strengthening Which In
SureS Wholesome Meat.

SureS Wholesome Meat.
A Kansas City man has discovered
a novel mothod of preparing pork for
the market in way that will give to
the people a meat which is perfectly
wholesome. The theory is advanced
that when a pig is sent to slaughter,
every squeal emitted in the process of
slaughter is an audible announcement
Of nervous reaction that effects every
fiber of it's body, producing such
changes as will be detrimental to any
one partaking of the flesh. The plan
proposed is to drive the porker up an
incline into small pen. Just as he
steps in the pen the platform tits and
runs him down a chute. At the end
Of this chute there is bucket of slop
or mash, or any other pig delicacy.
The animal pokes his snout into the
bucket when his whole head is caught
in a trap and nitrous oxide renders
him unconscious before he has time
to let out even little squeal. While
the pig is in this state it is slaughtered.
There is no excitement, no squeal and
consequently no thermic changes.

gone down to 100 degrees. A layer
of the more strawy portion of the
manure is first put on the bottom and
then thoroughly tramped or pounded
down. Succeeding layers are then ap-
piled and each packed down until the
bed is 10, IL or IA inches deep. Gull
tivated mushroom spawn, used for
planting the beds, may be obtained
from nearly any scotsman in the form
of dried manure bricks. These should
be broken up into pieces about inches
in diameter, planting each piece in the
bed to 10 inches apart by making a
suitable hole 2 inches deep and press
ing the spawn firmly into it. The hole
should then be again filled with the
manure and packed down firmly. The
bed is covered loosely with excelsior or
straw to retain the moisture and to

ture. At the end Of about week
this material is removed, and the beds
are covered with an inch to an inch
and a half of rich loamy soil. In from
to Z weeks mushrooms should begin
to appear.
Harvesting the Crop
Mushrooms are ready to pick about
the time the gills beneath the umbrella
portions are bright pink color. The
beds should be gone over every day;
every mushroom that is large enough
for market should be picked. In pick
ing, the mushroom should not be cut of
at the root, but by catching it by the
top and giving 1t gentle twist or bend
the fruit will come away from the
ground quite easily.
There is now good open market fol

confined to the underground limestone
uuarries or cement mines. These
caves are not unlike some of our mines
with galleries or halls radiating in
every direction. Most Of these are well
ventilated by shafts, protected at the
surface by wooden towers. Until re.
cent times the mushroom growers OF
Paris refused to allow visitors to these
caves, some of which are miles in
length-the cultural methods being
carefully guarded. Even to-day 1t is
not easy to obtain permission to make
a casual visit to the mushroom caves
The total production of mushrooms in
Paris alone in 1901 amounted to more
than 100000 pounds.

continue to sell entirely by contract or

be resorted to, although this method

THE FLY AGARIC.

Deadly Poison and Closely Resembles the
Edible Mushroom
most of them, are not poisonous. Abil-
ity to distinguish poisonous varieties
from those that are edible is not cas-.
lily learned. On the other hand those
who wish to collect fungi for their own
consumption or the market must be-
gin by committing to memory the dis
sihguishing marns of a few species.
Until this Is done one must not ven
ture to trust to general rules for dis
tinguishing good species from bad.
There Is one rule, however, which
should be applied no one, unless de-
cidedly expert, should collect for eat
ing the buttons, or small, unexpanded
fungi, since in their young condition
1t is often impossible, even for experts,
to recognize what the species is. The
Dep; tment of Agriculture has issued
a mber of bulletins on mushroom
gro ing which give certain rules for
Diet rmining the difference between the
edible common field mushrooms and
those that are deadly poisonous. This
subject Is particularly treated in the
Year Book for 1897; reprints of this
portion can be obtained from the Divi.
sion of Publications.
The mushroom in commerce is prac-
tically the fruit of the mushroom
plant, and not the plant itself. The
plant proper is white or blush white
mold-the spawn-that grows in fields
and manure piles. Comparing the
mushroom to an apple tree, we have
the trunk, branches and leaves buried
in the ground, leaving only the apples
themselves standing above the ground,
The toadstool, like the apple, con-
tains the means of reproduction-the
apple contains seeds, while the toad
stool is filled with microscopic, dust
like bodies having the same function as
seeds.
