How to Get Moss in Stardew Valley

Moss in Stardew Valley

To get Moss in Stardew Valley, you just need to collect it from trees. But, of course, not every tree is suitable for this. You should look for ones that have the texture of Moss on the tree trunk. In addition, Moss does not grow on trees during the Winter season.

Such trees grow primarily in Cindersap and Secret Forests. However, sometimes they can be found in town and the mountains. To distinguish them, pay attention to the trunk. If you see twisted Moss on it, then you have found what you're looking for.

It is important to note that to collect Moss in Stardew Valley, you will need an axe. Hit a suitable tree with one, and you will get the desired Moss. Luckily, you don't have to cut down the entire tree to do this. You can just remember the location of the trees with Moss and visit them from time to time to collect this resource.
