Best Way to Get Suspicious Stew
The most reliable way to get Suspicious Stew is to craft it at a Crafting Table from Red Mushroom, Brown Mushroom, and Bowl + Any Flower, because crafting is repeatable and does not depend on luck. Red and Brown Mushrooms grow in dark areas, swamps, or the Nether (on Mycelium, Podzol, or Nylium). The stew cannot stack, so carry flowers and craft on-the-go. Remember that Suspicious Stew does not stack, so each one you gather takes a full inventory slot — bring a chest or shulker box if you plan to collect several. Worth noting on the version side: Added in 1.14. As a food source, Suspicious Stew is worth setting up a renewable supply of so you are never caught with an empty hunger bar far from home.
