Mushroom Stew is a food item that restores six hunger points and has good saturation, making it a decent early-game food source. It is crafted using one red mushroom, one brown mushroom, and a bowl in a crafting table or the player’s inventory.

Mushroom Stew can also be obtained by milking a mooshroom with a bowl, providing an infinite renewable source of food when mooshrooms are available. Unlike other food items, it does not stack, making it less convenient for inventory management.

Despite its crafting requirements and inventory limitations, Mushroom Stew is a useful food source, especially for players in mushroom biomes or those who cultivate mushrooms in dark areas. The empty bowl remains after consumption, allowing players to reuse it for more stew or other similar foods like rabbit stew and beetroot soup.
