About this book
Mushrooms: How to Grow Them, by William Falconer, is billed as a practical treatise on mushroom culture for profit and pleasure. The preface says mushrooms and their extensive and profitable culture should concern every one. The preface also says that for home consumption mushrooms are a healthful and grateful food, and that the demand for them is increasing, and the supply has always been inadequate.
The text says the space under the benches, which is nearly useless for other purposes, is admirably adapted for mushroom beds, and the warmth and moisture of the greenhouse are exceptionally congenial conditions for the cultivation of mushrooms. An extract credited to Mr. Wright's book on mushrooms says French spawn is obtained by preparing a little bed, as if for mushrooms, in the ordinary way, and spawning it with morsels of virgin spawn, if that is obtainable.
