The largest part of New York's
supply of mushrooms comes from
Pennsylvania anyway and some of the
large growers are located in the coal
regions, hence It is not strange that
the idea of growing them in mines
should be taken up there.
Nowadays the profit In raising
mushrooms for the market is not

mushroom grower could easily get 81

sure Of getting his crop taken as fast
as It matured. Four thousands pounds
