| Summary | "Mushrooms: How to Grow Them" by William Falconer is a practical treatise on mushroom cultivation written in the late 19th century. The book primarily focuses on the techniques and best practices for growing mushrooms, emphasizing its profitability and health benefits for home consumption and market sales. Falconer aims to provide guidance for various audiences, including market gardeners, florists, private growers, suburban residents, and farmers, illustrating that mushroom cultivation can be accessible to anyone willing to invest in it. At the start of the book, Falconer discusses the growing demand for mushrooms in America and notes the inadequacy of supply, making it a lucrative opportunity for growers. He highlights the beneficial aspects of mushroom consumption and cultivation, stating that it is an enjoyable indoor activity suitable for families, particularly during the winter months. The opening chapters also detail the ideal conditions for mushroom growth, the importance of proper soil and manure preparation, and the various methods of cultivation for different settings, such as cellars, greenhouses, and farms, ensuring that readers understand the foundational requirements for successful mushroom farming.
