Stardew Valley Quality and Moss Scaling
Quality / Mossy trees, quality upgrades, and Botanist exception
Mushroom quality is based on nearby trees and mossy trees, not the Botanist profession. Mossy trees count more heavily, so a mature mossy grove improves output quality over time.
Facts and route notes
Category: Quality
Focus: Mossy trees, quality upgrades, and Botanist exception
Checklist: Leave moss on selected trees when quality matters more than immediate Moss harvest. Do not rely on Botanist to upgrade Mushroom Log harvest quality. Pair quality-focused logs with permanent tree groves rather than temporary wood farms.
