The 1.6 Update in Stardew Valley adds several new crafting stations that fill gaps in the game. The Mushroom Log is a particularly useful station, as it gives players access to mushrooms even if they didn’t select the mushroom cave near the beginning of the game. Mushrooms aren’t just good for cooking, they are used to make important potions like the Life Elixer, a crucial item for successfully diving into Skill Cavern.
