The Mussel Stick is a craftable item under the Food Tab, created by combining 2 Bamboo, 1 Vine, and 1 Seaweed, and used to harvest Mussels. The player must plant the stick on a bed of mussels, then come back to it later, when the stick will be coated with mussels. Harvesting occurs when the player removes the stick, and will result in 1, 3, or 6 mussels. Number of mussels may be indicated by how covered the top of the mussel stick is. Both the stick and the spawning ground are consumed. New spawning grounds will spawn randomly to replace those consumed.
