Some specie*, a® the common mu^^rooIn, A. carnpestria, A. vnpinatua, &c., are well known for the whole- Foinenes- of tlie f<tod which is prepared from llipin. Others, as A. muactiriua, A. necatnr, .Vc«, are very dangerous poison®; indeed, the latter quality exi^ta m«»re or Jess In so many species, and ihese lesem- bie those tliat are whole®omi> so nearly as to render it advisable to be exceedingly cautiouB in the u«e of any, for the mf>st dreadful eflPects are well known to have resulted from want i»f caution in tins respect. We sfiall here briefly notice the cultivation of the common nnishriiom in houses erected for the purpose., referring the reader for details to LourJon’a F.ncyclopitiHa of Gartleninp, where a copious account of the different modes of culture, preparing spawn, formation of house*, d;c., i- laid down. Collect a sufficient quantity of I ] fresh liorse droppings as free from straw as pos¬ sible, lay it in an open shed in a heap or ridge; here it. will heat violently, and in consequence should he now and then turned for sweetening; after this has subsided to moderation, it will be in a fit state for fovining into a bed. In the prnce.®s of making the bed, the dung should he put on in small quantities and beat firmly and equally together until it i> the required size: in this stale let it remain until the higJiest degree of heat to which It is capable of coming is ascertained, which may be readily done by in>erting a heai-stick and pressing it with the hand: if not found violent, the spawn may be broken up Into pieces of two or three inches square, and put into hole.® about three inches in depih, by six inches asunder, over its surface; after this throw a very small quantity of well-broken droppings over the whole. In this state let it remain for two or three weeks, when a loamy soil may be put nn about an incli or an inch and a half thick and gently patted with the spade. If the temperature of the house be kept about sixty or sixty-five degrees, mushrooms may be expected in six weeks. It is not well to water the i beds much, particularly when bearing ; it is much i better to throw a little water over the path and j fiue.s, which will both improve the colour and flavour of the mushrooms without being attended with those bad effects frequently resulting from watering, viz. that of destroying the j’oung stock ; and turning brown those already ht for table.
