How to get moss in Stardew Valley 1.6

Moss is a helpful resource in Stardew Valley for making items like the deluxe worm bin and mushroom log. However, it is initially challenging to spot, so you’ll need to get your hands on this material before you can make them. Here’s how to get moss in Stardew Valley.

Where to find moss in Stardew Valley

You can find moss on trees during any season other than Winter. However, only trees with a green mossy texture along their trunks have moss on them. Once you spot a mossy tree, hit it with an axe to get one to two moss out of it.

Mossy trees commonly spawn around the map, including in Cindersap and the Secret Forest. As you travel around Pelican Town, the quarry and various forests, you’ll spot these trees everywhere, allowing you to farm moss quickly.

How to use moss in Stardew Valley

You’ll use moss in multiple crafting recipes, including the deluxe worm bin and mushroom log. Creating the deluxe worm bin requires a regular version of this machine and 30 moss, and it allows you to get better bait for fishing. The mushroom log also needs moss alongside ten hardwood to make, allowing you to obtain mushrooms occasionally. Placing one near wild trees will make it more effective, so crafting some and putting them in tree-filled areas is worth crafting.

You can also use it to cook moss soup. One bowl of moss soup requires 20 moss, making it slightly expensive when you’re just starting. Although the soup doesn’t give any status effects, it restores 70 energy and 31 health, making it useful for cave exploration.
