Disney Dreamlight Valley's Storybook Vale expansion introduces a plethora of new ingredients, some more elusive than others. Mussels, a type of seafood described as a surprisingly water-filtering mollusk, are a prime example. Unlike some ingredients, Mussels have a somewhat unpredictable spawn rate and location.
This guide clarifies where to find these valuable ingredients within Storybook Vale.
Mussel Locations in Disney Dreamlight Valley
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 easily locating Mussels in these zones, others find them less frequent. Spawn points seem to cluster near Trial areas, such as the one adjacent to the initial Trial in the Elysian Fields (Hades' unlock area).
A notable Mussel cluster is often found concealed 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 Storybook Vale seafood, Mussels aren't used in crafting. Their primary use is as a culinary ingredient in these recipes:
- Garlic Steam Mussels
- Mussel Risotto
- Steamed Mussels
Alternatively, consume Mussels for a +150 energy boost or sell them for 75 Gold Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls.
