It’s always tough to figure out the right ingredients for a new recipe, as there are so many unique ingredients to choose from and no way to know the right ones until you simply try to cook. If cooking this dish has you stumped, here’s how to make Button Stew in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

The recipe for Button Stew is one Button Mushroom and one Carrot. When this recipe was first released, it was bugged and couldn’t be cooked, so there’s a good chance you may have tried the right recipe, but it didn’t work as expected.

All Wishblossom Ranch recipes involving Button Mushrooms were bugged when Wishblossom Ranch first released, so even if you had the right ingredients, the dish you got from cooking with them wouldn’t be what you wanted. Luckily, this bug was fixed in The Winter Ball update when Cinderella arrived in the valley on Dec. 10, which means you can now toss a Button Mushroom and a Carrot into a cooking pot as intended.

Button Stew is a highly beloved dish among horses, especially Khan, whom you unlock during the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest. It’s tough to build your bond with him without it, as you likely won’t be able to give him all three of his favorite daily items, so it’s a meal you’ll likely want to cook regularly.

Button Mushrooms are the main ingredient in this dish, and they can be found growing all around the wild in Glamour Gulch. This includes the Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau areas.

This item appears as a small, circular, bright yellow clump of mushrooms. The tops are dotted with plus signs of different colors, including purple, blue, red, and more. They stand out quite well against the dark red and black color palette in Glamour Gulch, making them easy to find once you know where to look.

As you hunt around for this item, be sure to check inside all caves in Glamour Gulch. There are quite a few, and I’ve found many Button Mushrooms hidden away in them, so it’s always worth checking to ensure you don’t miss any.

Carrots are a crop you must purchase, plant, water, grow, and harvest yourself. You can buy seeds from Goofy’s Stall in the Peaceful Meadow biome. They cost 10 Star Coins to buy, and roughly 15 minutes to grow. The growth time is cut down slightly to about 13 minutes if you plant them in the Peaceful Meadow region, since this is their native area.

If you’re looking for another dish horses enjoy, you might try cooking Beet Sugar Sculpture. And once you’re done cooking, there’s plenty more to tackle around Wishblossom Ranch, like feeding Sweet Bees, getting Old Braided Ropecompleting The Skunk Rebellion, and acquiring all horse mount customization options.
