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, often present a challenge for players. Unlike other shellfish, their spawn locations are somewhat unpredictable.
This guide clarifies how to locate and utilize Mussels in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Mussel Spawn Locations in Mythopia
Mussels are found on the ground throughout Mythopia, specifically within these areas:
- The Elysian Fields
- The Fiery Plains
- The Statue's Shadow
- Mount Olympus
While some players report readily finding Mussels in these locations, others experience less frequent spawns. Certain areas, particularly near Trials (like the one near Hades' unlock in the Elysian Fields), may yield higher concentrations.
The image below highlights potential Mussel spawn points, including a cluster behind a hidden bush in the Elysian Fields (accessible during Hades' "A Moth to a Flame" quest). Unlocking this area may increase overall Mussel spawns.

Mussel Uses in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Unlike some other seafood, Mussels lack crafting applications. Their primary use is as a culinary ingredient in these Storybook Vale recipes:
- Garlic Steam Mussels
- Mussel Risotto
- Steamed Mussels
Alternatively, consuming Mussels replenishes 150 energy, or they can be sold for 75 Gold Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls.
