This book has been written to meet the requirements of amateur gardeners
who need guidance as to the various methods of growing mushrooms for
home consumption. It contains a wealth of information, supplied in a
concise and lucid manner, on the culture of the mushroom on ridges or
beds in the open air, in boxes and tubs in cellars, under greenhouse
staging, in old hotbeds or in frames and also in pastures. This book was
originally published in 1909 but all of its content is important and
still valuable today. We are republishing it here with a new
introduction on mushroom identification and foraging.
