where horses work under cover, frequently furnish very fine spawn.

Sometimes in kitchen gardens, when the ground has been thickly dunged in the Spring with half rotten dung, on digging the same again in Autumn, and looking with care, good lumps of spawn are to be found.

So that in all decayed dung-heaps and hot-beds, old dungy composts, and well dunged soils, not too wet, or the dung very buttery rotten, you may be successful.

Frequently in old dung-heaps some stragling Mushrooms are seen to rise naturally in Autumn, there you may be sure to find spawn.
