🍄 Foraging Buff

The Foraging Buff is a temporary effect in Stardew Valley that increases the player’s foraging proficiency. While active, it improves the quality of items picked up from the ground and increases the amount of wood gained when chopping trees. This buff is especially useful during resource gathering or when farming seasonal forageables.

Like other buffs, Foraging Buffs do not stack — consuming a new one replaces the previous effect.
