Any thoughts on using mushrooms, celery or both to make a Concord wine a little less concordy? Was thinking of cooking them down into a broth, then adding that in primary. Maybe with a cup of brewed black tea?
 
No Idea about other mushrooms, I just know that you need to avoid inky cap mushrooms as they cause a toxic interaction in your body with alcohol.
As for other household fruits and veggie, that’s up to you... adding raisins or bananas have been done to add body, other fruits will bring other flavors in, good or bad is up to your taste after it’s fermented. Spices and herbs can be added as well. This is for mead, but still a good guideline. https://www.denardbrewing.com/blog/post/Spices/
