Description

Mushroom Stew is a food item crafted by combining one red mushroom, one brown mushroom, and a wooden bowl anywhere in the crafting grid — a shapeless recipe that yields a single serving. Mushroom Stew can also be collected directly from a Mooshroom by using an empty bowl on the cow, which makes Mushroom Stew fully renewable without farming mushrooms by hand. Mushroom Stew exists in both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition and has been in Minecraft since the earliest survival releases.

Eating Mushroom Stew restores 6 hunger points (three drumsticks) and 7.2 saturation, then returns the empty bowl so the container is never wasted. Mushroom Stew does not stack, so each inventory slot holds only one serving, making it less travel-friendly than bread or cooked meat. Mushroom Stew is the staple food of mushroom-island survival, where red and brown mushrooms spread freely even in daylight and Mooshrooms supply an endless source — reach for Mushroom Stew when you need a quick, no-cooking meal that costs no fuel.

Java & Bedrock Guide

How to make Mushroom Stew in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients

    Collect one red mushroom, one brown mushroom, and one bowl. Mushrooms grow in dark spots, swamps, and on mushroom islands; a bowl is crafted from three planks.

  2. 2

    Open the crafting grid

    Open a crafting table or your 2x2 inventory grid. The recipe is shapeless, so the exact slots you use do not matter.

  3. 3

    Combine into stew

    Place the red mushroom, brown mushroom, and bowl into the grid to produce one bowl of Mushroom Stew.

  4. 4

    Or refill from a Mooshroom

    Hold an empty bowl and use it on a Mooshroom to fill it instantly, skipping the crafting step entirely.

Tip

Mushroom Stew does not stack, so carry several bowls for a long trip; eating each one returns an empty bowl you can reuse.

Yes. Combine one red mushroom, one brown mushroom, and a bowl anywhere in the crafting grid to make one bowl of Mushroom Stew.

How much hunger does Mushroom Stew restore?

Mushroom Stew restores 6 hunger points (three drumsticks) and 7.2 saturation, then leaves an empty bowl behind.

Is Mushroom Stew renewable?

No. Mushroom Stew is limited to one item per inventory slot, like other stew and soup foods in Minecraft.

What is the difference between Mushroom Stew and Suspicious Stew?

Mushroom Stew only restores hunger, while Suspicious Stew adds a temporary status effect based on the flower used to craft it.
