Vineyard Revival

Spent mushroom substrate (especially from Pleurotus eryngii) dramatically improved vineyard soil health, boosting multifunctionality by 48%, enriching microbial diversity, and increasing key species involved in carbon and nitrogen cycling. This fungi-powered fertilizer also helped bind heavy metals in soil.
