How To Get (& Use) Mushroom Log In Stardew Valley

One of the new items introduced in 1.6 is the Mushroom Log, which gives farmers a steady source of mushrooms. Mushrooms are typically found out in the wild, in the Mines, and in the Farm Cave if you set it up for growing fungi. However, the Mushroom Log is a great way to collect the mushrooms you need for Bundles and crafting.

1.6 added many interesting items, so the Mushroom Log may fly under the radar for many players. To craft it, your farmer must reach Level 4 of the Foraging skill.

Hardwood is a valuable resource used to craft many different items. This includes equipment for making certain Artisan Goods, such as the Fish Smoker for making Smoked Fish, as well as upgrades to the Farmhouse. Luckily, players can obtain Hardwood from a few different sources.

All of these require upgraded tools, so make sure to visit the blacksmith Clint to purchase tool upgrades.
