Disney Dreamlight Valley: Button Stew Recipe Currently Bugged
Players looking to craft Button Stew in Disney Dreamlight Valley will find the recipe currently unachievable due to a persistent bug affecting Wishblossom Ranch recipes that use Button Mushrooms. While the ingredients – one Button Mushroom and one Carrot – are known, the game does not process them correctly, preventing the dish from being made as intended.
Key Takeaways:
- The Button Stew recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley is currently bugged.
- The bug affects all recipes using Button Mushrooms from the Wishblossom Ranch.
- The correct ingredients are one Button Mushroom and one Carrot.
- A fix is anticipated in a future update, potentially around December 10, 2025.
Understanding the Button Stew Bug
The intended recipe for Button Stew requires a simple combination of one Button Mushroom and one Carrot. However, as of November 11, 2025, this recipe, along with others utilizing Button Mushrooms from the Wishblossom Ranch, is non-functional. Players will not obtain Button Stew even when using the correct components.
Developer Gameloft is aware of such issues and typically addresses them in major content updates. The next significant patch is scheduled for December 10, 2025, offering a potential timeframe for when this cooking bug might be resolved.
Why Button Stew Matters
Button Stew is noted as a highly favored dish among the game’s equine companions, particularly Khan, a character unlocked through the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest. The inability to prepare this dish can hinder players attempting to maximize their bond with Khan by fulfilling his favorite daily items, potentially impacting progression and companion relationship goals.
Gathering the Ingredients
How to Find Button Mushrooms
Button Mushrooms are a key component and can be found growing wild within the Glamour Gulch biome. Look for them in areas such as the Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau. These mushrooms are visually distinct, appearing as small, circular, bright yellow clusters with colorful plus signs on their caps, making them relatively easy to spot against the biome’s darker color palette.
It’s advised to thoroughly explore all caves within Glamour Gulch, as Button Mushrooms are often hidden in these locations.
How to Obtain Carrots
Carrots are a farmable crop. Players can purchase Carrot Seeds from Goofy’s Stall, located in the Peaceful Meadow biome, for 10 Star Coins. Once planted, they typically take about 15 minutes to grow, a timer that can be reduced to approximately 13 minutes if planted within the Peaceful Meadow itself.
Editor’s Take
While bugs are an unfortunate but common part of live-service games like Disney Dreamlight Valley, this particular issue with Button Stew highlights the ongoing challenges in balancing new content with technical stability. The impact on player progression, especially concerning companion relationships like that with Khan, is a tangible frustration. Players are left in a holding pattern, needing to stockpile ingredients and wait for a patch. The clear communication of the bug’s scope (affecting all Button Mushroom recipes) and the anticipated fix window provides some solace, but the immediate inability to complete certain in-game goals remains a dampener for dedicated players.
