Circularbioeconomy

This page will be to help follow the first actual test of the old idea to use grapevine cuttings to grow oyster mushrooms

Introduction

Context

This is a part of an idea that came out of the Biofest in Greece. To note: a second one will soon be run again, 22-26 April 2026

There we discussed using olive branch cuttings to grow mushrooms. So, the idea was that here, in a grape growing region, we could try similar, with grapevine cuttings.

Objectives

to see how well mushrooms might grow on 'waste' from ordinary agricultural practices.

This is our first test with grey oyster mushroom grain spawn on chopped up grapevine cuttings
