Updated December 20, 2024, by Demaris Oxman: The 1.6 update is now available on all platforms. This update enhances foraging with increased item versatility (Juice or Pickles via Kegs/Preserves Jars), the Mushroom Log, and the Green Rain event. This guide reflects these changes.

(Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter forageables follow in a similar table format, replacing the year-round items with seasonal ones and their respective locations and uses. Due to length constraints, I've omitted them here. Please let me know if you'd like me to generate those tables separately.)
