Disney Dreamlight Valley's Storybook Vale expansion introduces a host of new ingredients, some easier to find than others. Mussels, a type of seafood described as surprisingly good water filters, can be particularly elusive. Unlike some shellfish, they only appear in specific Storybook Vale biomes, and their spawn locations can be unpredictable.

Unlocking Mussel Spawns in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Mussels are found on the ground throughout Mythopia, specifically in these areas:

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

While some players find Mussels readily, others report infrequent spawns. One helpful tip: Mussels may spawn more frequently near Trial areas, such as the one in the Elysian Fields where you unlock Hades. Additionally, a cluster of Mussels can sometimes be found behind the secret bush area in the Elysian Fields during Hades' "A Moth to a Flame" quest. Uncovering this area may increase overall Mussel spawns in Mythopia.

Mussel Uses in Disney Dreamlight Valley

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

• Garlic Steam Mussels
• Mussel Risotto
• Steamed Mussels

Alternatively, consuming a Mussel restores 150 energy, or you can sell them for 75 Gold Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls.
