The raising of mushrooms is within the reach of nearly every one. Good materials to work with and careful attention to all practical details should give good returns. The industry is one in which women and children can take part as well as men. It furnishes indoor employment in winter, and there is very little hard labor attached to it, while it can be made subsidiary to almost any other business, and even a recreation as well as a source of profit.
In this book I have attempted, even at the risk of repetition, to make the best methods as plain as possible. The facts presented in this manual are the results of the practical experience and observation of many successful growers, and I encourage you to just ʺget out there and do itʺ, You have the good fortune of living in the perfect time and place, and thereʹs never been a better opportunity for you to grow and sell high‐quality mushrooms to a local or worldwide market.
