How to Craft Mushroom Stew in Minecraft

Mushroom Stew in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Restores 6 hunger points.

The recipe wants 1 Red Mushroom, 1 Brown Mushroom, and 1 Bowl, and a Crafting Table to run it on. You end up with 1 Mushroom Stew each time. On the food bar that is 6 hunger and 7.2 saturation.

Mushroom Stew Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Mushroom Stew is minecraft:mushroom_stew. In commands the namespace may be left off, so mushroom_stew works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p mushroom_stew
Give several at once
/give @p mushroom_stew 5
Give it to a named player
/give Steve mushroom_stew 1

Cheats have to be on for Mushroom Stew to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview

Mushroom Stew restores 6 hunger points. It cannot be stacked but is easy to make in mushroom biomes. Mushroom Stew uses a shapeless recipe, so the ingredients can go in any cells of the grid as long as all of them are present.

The mushroom stew was already in the game in Minecraft Beta 1.0, the oldest release with an English language file to read, so this recipe is at least that old.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with red mushroom (found in dark areas and mushroom islands), brown mushroom (found in dark areas), and bowl (craft from planks).

One Stack, Counted

Feed 1 bowl a craft, so 64 covers 64 of them: 64 mushroom stews. Have 64 brown mushroom ready as well. It divides evenly, no bowl left over.
