A random trash item is caught while [[fishing]], after failing skill checks to get a bite ("hit") from every type of [[fish]] and [[Fish#Other Catchables|other catchables]] currently available at a location.  More types of fish currently available at a location generally results in a greater chance of a bite, which results in a decreased chance of catching trash. Trash is therefore much more common when fishing in locations with few types of fish and rarer fish, such as [[The Mines]], and trash is the only possible result when fishing in the [[Farm Pond]] on a [[Farm Maps|Standard Farm]].

The likelihood of catching trash at most locations will also decrease substantially as [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|fishing skill]] increases. At a skill level of 10, trash frequency can decrease by over 20 percentage points if few types of fish are present, and trash frequency approaches 0% when at least 5 types of fish (including algae and seaweed) are present.<ref name="spawnrate" />

The [[Rotten Plant]] can be obtained by a [[Jack-O-Lantern]] which becomes a Rotten Plant when standing outside in Winter. It can also be found as a part of a [[Secret Notes#Secret Note #19|Secret]].
