Contents include: introduction - The Nature of The Mushroom - Site and Soil - Buildings - Manures - Spawns - Making up Beds - Care of Beds - Diseases and Pests and Their Control - Picking and Packing - Exhibiting - Some Companion Crops - Marketing and Costings - Cooking Recipes. We are republishing this vintage text in a modern and affordable edition, featuring high quality reproductions of the original artwork.
