'''Moss''' is a [[:Category:Resources|resource]] obtained from moss-covered trees. In each non-[[winter]] day, some amount of common trees ([[Maple Tree|Maple]], [[Oak Tree|Oak]] and [[Pine Tree|Pine]]) are randomly covered in Moss. Additionally, two types of [[Green Rain Trees]] can grow Moss. The trees do not need to be felled to collect the Moss, which can be removed and collected with any [[tool]], [[weapon]], or [[bomb]]. One Tree drops 1 to 2 pieces of Moss.

Each day in [[Spring]], [[Summer]], and [[Fall]], some amount of [[Trees #Common Trees|common trees]] can randomly grow moss after certain time. Moss grows slower on [[Sunny]] [[Summer]] days. Additionally, two types of [[Green Rain Trees]] can grow Moss. These two trees, when covered in moss and planted near common trees accelerate moss growth on the common trees.<ref name="mossGrowthSource" /> The trees do not need to be felled to collect the Moss. Moss can be removed and collected with any [[tool]], [[weapon]], or [[bomb]]. One Tree drops 1 to 2 pieces of Moss.
Using an [[Axe]] on a tapped tree covered in Moss will remove the [[tapper]] and the Moss in one hit, while a [[Pickaxe]] will remove only the tapper on the first hit. Using any other methods will harvest moss without collecting the tapper.
Players can use [[Vinegar]] on a tree to prevent that tree from growing Moss.

Moss becomes much more common during the [[Weather#Green Rain|Green Rain]] event, covering most mossy trees. This weather event also spawns exclusive [[Weeds#Special Weed|weeds]] that have a 10% chance to drop Moss.<ref name="cutweed" /> Additionally, Large Weeds spawned by the event will drop 2-3 Moss when cut.<ref name="resourceclump />

Moss grows slower on [[Sunny]] [[Summer]] days and recovers slower after collecting.
Each Moss collected gives the player 1 [[Foraging]] XP.
==Moss Growth==
For moss to grow on a tree, it must be a fully grown [[Oak Tree]], [[Maple Tree]], [[Pine Tree]], [[Green Rain Trees#Bushy_Green_Rain_Tree|Bushy Green Rain Tree]], or [[Green Rain Trees#Leafy_Green_Rain_Tree|Leafy Green Rain Tree]].<ref name="mossPossibleTrees" /> No other types of trees can grow moss. The tree's [[Trees#Growth Cycle|growth stage]] must also be at least 14.
At the start of each day, all eligible trees will have a chance to grow Moss. The chance for a tree to grow moss varies depending on the weather and season. The growth chance is 10% on [[Sunny]] days, which decreases to 3.3% if it is [[Summer]]. On [[Rain|Rainy]] days, the growth chance is 20%.<ref name="mossGrowthSource" />
Trees will have a 50% chance to receive a 10% boost to their moss growth chance if one of the following conditions are met:
* The tree is a (non-temporary) [[Green Rain Trees#Bushy_Green_Rain_Tree|Bushy]] or [[Green Rain Trees#Leafy_Green_Rain_Tree|Leafy]] Green Rain Tree.
* The tree's surrounding 5x5 grid contains a (non-temporary) [[Green Rain Trees#Bushy_Green_Rain_Tree|Bushy]] or [[Green Rain Trees#Leafy_Green_Rain_Tree|Leafy]] Green Rain Tree that has Moss on it.
During a [[Green Rain]], all trees that are able to grow Moss will instantly grow Moss, regardless of their growth stage.
During [[Winter]], Moss cannot grow at all (except inside the [[Greenhouse]]), and all pre-existing Moss on trees is removed.
Collecting moss from a tree reduces its growth stage to 12 - the amount of Moss it dropped.
