Disney Dreamlight Valley's Storybook Vale expansion introduces a plethora of new ingredients, some more elusive than others. Mussels, a key ingredient described as a surprisingly water-filtering mollusk, are a prime example. Unlike other shellfish, their location is restricted within Storybook Vale's biomes, and their spawn rate can be unpredictable.

Locating Mussels in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Mussels are found scattered across the Mythopia region of Storybook Vale. Specifically, they can appear while foraging in:

• The Elysian Fields
• The Fiery Plains
• The Statue's Shadow
• Mount Olympus

While some players report readily finding Mussels in these areas, others experience less success. Spawn locations seem somewhat random, with some players finding clusters near Trial areas (e.g., near the first Trial in the Elysian Fields, where Hades is unlocked).

A particularly fruitful spot is a hidden area behind a bush in the Elysian Fields, revealed during Hades' "A Moth to a Flame" quest. Unlocking this area may increase the overall spawn rate of Mussels in Mythopia.

Utilizing Mussels in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Unlike some other seafood, Mussels aren't used in crafting. Their primary use is as a culinary ingredient in these Storybook Vale recipes:

• Garlic Steam Mussels
• Mussel Risotto
• Steamed Mussels

Alternatively, consuming a Mussel replenishes 150 energy, or they can be sold for 75 Gold Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls.
