Version History: V0001
--------------------------------------------------------------
Current Version = 2.5
(In order from 1st version to current)
V 0.1----04/07/06----Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The very start.
V 0.8----07/22/06----Well I have most of the main sections complete and now I'm
going to try and submit the guide. I can't believe it took me so long to make
this thing...(ACCEPTED!)
V 0.9----07/26/06----This version was made possible by the contributions of
Sanorith. I wanted to add a few things to the guide while I had them. I found
out a bunch of little things I was missing thanks to a contributor, I finished
the "gifts" section, and I added some FoMT art to the top of the guide.
V 0.91----07/26/06----Tiny change. 1 new contributor.
V 1.0----08/12/06----I fixed one BAD problem. I had 2 legal information sections
somehow... Well that's fixed now. I also fixed a few typos, and I finally took
the time and wrote a whole new section! The "My Descriptions of the Wild Plants"
is the first section of a few new ones I hope to be adding! Enjoy the guide!
V 1.1----10/03/06----In this version, we've got a few tiny changes as well as
two new FAQ questions from the public.
V 1.2----10/26/06----A few tiny changes, a few things off my "Possible Future
Updates" list, and a new section. ENJOY!
V 1.3----02/25/07----I've added a whole bunch of little things and new
questions, all thanks to a whole bunch of contributors.
V 1.31----04/16/07----I've finally got around to it and made a girl's version
guide for HM:mFoMT. There are a few small changes, but nothing totally new.
Thanks to everyone who made this guide possible! (ACCEPTED!)
V 1.32----04/17/07----Now that this new guide is up, I polished up a few things
in this guide and added a new section.
V 1.4----04/27/07----Thanks to two new contributors, there are some new notes
around, and a new question in the FAQ section.
V 1.5----01/12/09----It has taken me 625 days to finally update this guide
again. I thought I was done with these guides, but 2 years' worth of e-mails
have proven me wrong. There is always something to update! I've fixed endless
typos, added lots of comments, edited sections, added some 10 new contributors,
and even added a new section because of new information brought to my attention.
V 1.6----01/28/09----In only two weeks, I already got 3 more e-mails with
contributions, and bringing this guide another large update. Loads of new
information and notes lying around, and 3 new sections too! One of them is a
vocabulary section, and the other two are about flowers. On top of these new
sections, new notes, and new contributors, I also changed the layout SLIGHTLY
and completely spellchecked the whole guide. We should now be typo-free!
V 1.7----02/21/09----Deathstriker24 actually wrote a whole new section for me!
After bit of tweaking, I have now released the "Wild Plant Collecting Routes"
section, as well as a new "Other Wild Forage" section. On top of that, I've
completely rewritten large parts of the guide and reorganized all the sections
in an order which I thought made much more sense. I've made some sections easier
to read as well. Also, I have updated the "Wild Plants as Gifts" section with
lots of new people and their preferences. Apples have now been added as a wild
plant, as well as all of the apple recipes. The Cooking section has also
received an overhaul. 3 new contributors were added, and I have alphabetized
large sections of this guide, as well as given it another spell-check.
V 1.8----04/18/09----I fixed up the layout of the flower section, added a new
question to the FAQ section and a new note, and added a few new people and items
to the gift section.
V 1.9----08/10/09----I've shortened and simplified the gift section a little.
Vocabulary section, Art Gallery, and My Other Guides sections have been updated
because I wrote a new guide for some reason.
V 1.91----01/15/10----2010 update. I changed the copyright dates, but I also
updated the layout of the FAQ section to reflect that of my newer guide, and I
made a minor layout change to the "Selling to Van" section.
v 1.92----03/19/11----2011 update! It's been over a year since this was updated,
and I'm only changing the copyright up to 2011 and adding a tiny note about how
my guides have collectively amassed over 100,000 views! Wow!
v 2.0----07/12/12----2012 update! I tried to shorten the guide a bit, updated
and cut down the vocabulary, legal information, and e-mail sections, and
completely removed the Art Gallery section. It was completely useless, and only
wasted space. I feel that the guide really needs to be rewritten, so I got it
prepared in case I ever return to clean the guide up. Also, one new contributor
pointed out that Carter likes mushrooms.
v 2.1----08/23/12----Another house cleaning update. I've changed the way I
numbered versions of this guide, and also took that time to cut down the entire
version history section. The credits have been shortened as well.
v 2.2----08/29/12----Finally, I have gone through and rewritten many portions of
the guide. It should now have less rambling and more of the stuff you actually
came to read! I also checked what happens if one eats a poisonous mushroom (one
simply loses some stamina). Enjoy the shorter, cleaner guide!
v 2.21----09/08/12----Moved around the credits and made the spacing of the guide
more consistent.
v 2.22----01/15/13----Updated the guide for a 2013 copyright.
v 2.3----06/22/14----Today's update brings you an updated Harvest Sprite gift
information section! Thank Sir Kay for information on which sprites like apples
as gifts. Some old information has been confirmed as well, and a few typos have
been fixed.
v 2.4----06/22/14----Sir Kay has generously provided me with all of the In-Game
Wild Plant Descriptions, allowing me to put together new section of the guide!
Thank you, Sir Kay!
(Current)
v 2.5----01/07/15----I've gotten new information about the White Flower, so I've
tried to update the various parts of the guide dealing with it. That item is
still a big mystery to me honestly, and seems to play a larger role in mFoMT
than in FoMT (and I've only played the latter), so if anyone has more info on
it, please let me know! I've also fixed typos, cleaned some things up, and
updated the copyright.
Hello everyone! This is my fourth guide out of a total of five. One of
my favorite parts of every Harvest Moon game is foraging for wild plants, and I
always like to keep track of how many different ways these wild plants can be
useful, which is ultimately why I wrote a guide about it! (Also, Friends of
Mineral Town is one of my all-time favorite handheld Harvest Moons!)
My guide uses a few abbreviations and some slang, so I've included this
short section to help clear up what those things mean.

---------------------------------
Why Make This Guide W0004
---------------------------------
I wrote this guide because (as mentioned above), one of my favorite
aspects of Harvest Moon is foraging, and when I looked at the available guides
for FoMT, there were none really covering this topic! So I made a guide
dedicated to the wonderful wild plants of Mineral Town. They are so many
different uses for these plants, I believe they deserve their own guide.
----------------------------------

What You Can Do With Wild Plants W0008
___________________________________________________________
Some people just see the wild plants growing around Mineral Town as
a little bit of extra cash lying around. And this is true (in fact, they are
worth more than many of the fish and ores you can collect). But, there are
actually so many more uses for these wild plants! Even something as seemingly
lowly and useless as a weed can be used for sickle experience, as a gift for
Popuri, or as an ingredient for Relaxation Tea Leaves! Check out the list below
for other things one can do with wild plants.
The Most Useful Wild Plants (in my opinion) W0009
___________________________________________________________
These are the top three most useful wild plants in Mineral Town, in my
humble opinion.
==============================
The Top 3 Most Useful Plants:
==============================
-Grasses
-Mushroom
-Truffle
Grasses are easily the most useful wild plants. Many of them can be
found on a daily basis, they can be used as food, they are used in some recipes,
and they can be used to turn a decent profit.
Mushrooms are useful as food, as a recipe ingredient, as a gift, and
(most importantly) as a gift for Carter to open up his secret mushroom garden
(which contains mushrooms, and a white grass in the Winter!).
Truffles are on this list because of their incredible value. A single
truffle bags you 500g (meaning two truffles bag you an impressive 1,000g!).
Also, they can be used as gifts or in recipes.
Wild Plants as Gifts G0010
___________________________________________________________
Are you wondering which wild plants make good gifts? Look no further,
because this is the list for you!
*Note* Everyone will accept your gifts whether they like them or not. This list
specifically details only the villagers that will like or love these gifts.
-I did not include Van's/Won's prices because I don't know them. (Send them in?)
-A poisonous mushroom can be used in any recipe that calls for a regular
mushroom, but it lowers the restorative properties of the dish significantly.
-Eating a poisonous mushroom causes you to lose Stamina. If you put it in the
pot for the big pot festival, you'll make everyone in the town sick.
Why would a Poisonous Mushroom be worth more than a regular one? WHO
KNOWS!? Theories?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-FFX2player thinks that this is a nod to the Harvest Moon SNES game where the
poisonous mushrooms were worth more as well.
-Twib thinks poisonous mushrooms sell for more than normal ones because they are
rarer than the normal ones.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This game has multiple flowers. Four of them grow in the wild. One of
them can only be grown on your farm. The last one can only be obtained by
winning Won's apple shuffle game 10 times in a row or through the use of a
cheating device.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Flower Season Price
-----------------------------------------------------------
Blue Magic Grass |Fall |162-171G (Van's store)

Moon Drop Flower |Spring |141-152G (Van's store)

Red Magic Grass* |Fall |220-197G (Van's store)
| |
Toy Flower |Spring |118-129G (Van's store)
| |
White Flower** |Summer |78,000-87,000G (Won's store.)***
-----------------------------------------------------------
*The Red Magic Grass can only be grown with seeds purchased from Won.
**The White Flower can be obtained by winning Won's apple shuffle game 10 times
in a row or through the use of a cheating device.
***I am unsure if it can be sold to Van. Does anybody know this?
=========================
The White Flower
=========================
The White Flower is a special flower in Harvest Moon. In the girl's
version of the game (mFoMT), you can obtain it by winning Won's apple shuffle
game 10 times in a row. In FoMT, the only way I'm currently aware that it can
be obtained is through the use of a cheating device. I got the following
information from njayhuang, who got it from www.fogu.com/hm4 (a useful website
for HM:FoMT-related help). Here is the info on the White Flower:
################################################################################
The White Flower aka Queen of the Night appears during an event. You can
only keep it if you use a cheating device.
"Once you reach your 5th year in the game and it's Summer season, go to
Ellen's house between 1pm and 4pm. Inside Ellen says she's waiting for Basil to
arrive for a visit. When Basil appears, he says that Ellen is going to tell him
about a rare plant. Ellen explains that when she was young, she heard someone
talking about the White Flower that only blooms on a Summer night. She says
there's no one alive anymore who has seen it. Basil is intrigued by Ellen's
story. He asks you find the White Flower and bring it to Ellen. Basil then goes
back to his house to do some research about Ellen's flower. To find Ellen's
flower, go to the summit of Mother's Hill. The time has to be between 9pm and
midnight. If you walk up to the summit, you'll find the White Flower blooming on
the rocks. When you pick it, you're automatically transported back to Ellen's
house.
Back at Ellen's, Basil is quite surprised to see the White Flower. It's
very lovely so you give it to Ellen as a gift. Ellen thanks you and says she'll
treasure it forever."
################################################################################
Plant Reappearance Times R0014
___________________________________________________________
In some Harvest Moon games, the wild plants have a specific amount of
time required to grow back, but not in this one! In this game, all wild plants
grow back every day. The one exception to this is Black Grass.
Selling to Van S0016
____________________________________________________________
Although you cannot ship flowers, there is another way to sell them. If
you connect to Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (the GameCube game), Van will
begin coming to your town. If you befriend him, you can sell him flowers as well
as other wild plants (they can even be sold for more than the shipping bin will
pay).
To befriend Van, give him apples. You must first go through three events
with him, and after about two seasons of giving him apples, you'll finally be
able to sell him your flowers and other wild plants.
When selling to Van, you can haggle to try and raise the price. When he
makes an offer, keep saying no until he offers the highest price. You can even
sell your truffles for more!
-I've included a little chart with the prices one can get for flowers when
haggling with Van. I currently do not have a list of prices for other wild
plants and mushrooms. Can anyone collect this information and send it in?
-The White Flower can be obtained by winning Won's apple shuffle game
10 times in a row or through the use of a cheating device.
-If you know the prices for other wild plants, please send me an e-mail!
-In mFoMT, Won can be befriended and you can sell things to him as well, but
I've heard that Van will give you more of a profit, with the possible exception
of the White Flower.
***If anyone sees any locations for the growth of the plants that I missed (or
that my imagination created and don't actually exist), please send me an e-mail
about it.***

The same flowers that you go out to harvest from the wild can also be
grown on your farm! Won sells the seeds. You may want to grow flowers because
you want to use them as gifts, because you want to sell them to van for money,
because you want to use them for the vase in your house (check the "Flowers in
the Vase section, quick search F0020), or because you want to get your hands on
Red Magic Grass.
-------------
How to plant:
-------------
You can either arrange your plants in rows or in squares. In rows, the
plants are easy to access and water, but you will miss out on 3 of the plants
that could be grown in the middle. In a square, the plants are harder to access,
but you will only miss out on the one plant in the center (unless you have a
silver rank or higher watering can). I prefer the square formation, because you
lose less plants.

*With a Silver or higher upgraded watering can, you CAN water the plant in the
middle, and since flowers don't grow back, you can get all 9 of them every time.
*Harvest sprites don't harvest flowers, except for Red Magic Grass, which you
probably don't want harvested because they will sell it immediately, and you may
want to keep it for recipes or for your vase. Keep this in mind when employing
harvest sprites and growing Red Magic Grass.

*When you grow these, you'll usually only get one red magic grass while the rest
will all be blue. I had one guy complaining to me because he got all blues. He
was just very unlucky.*
*You can actually see what you are going to get by checking your mini-map the
day after planting. It'll show you which ones will be red and which ones will be
blue. You can use this to turn your game off and restart if you didn't get
enough reds. People tell me they can get up to 3, and possibly more!*

___________________________________________________________
When you get far enough into the game, you can buy a vase for your
house. You can put flowers in this vase, and they will help with your stamina
and fatigue when you wake up every morning. Thanks to contributor njayhuang and
a guide written by samurai goroh and thekingofthisgame, I have the exact values
of these plants' positive effects.
-Keep in mind that as you work more, you LOSE stamina and GAIN fatigue, so you
want to gain stamina and lose fatigue.
This section has all the In-Game Plant Descriptions (the ones written in
the game) listed out, split into Flower, Mushroom, and Other Wild Forage
sections. Thanks to Sir Kay of GameFAQs for providing me with all of these!
Any grammatical errors in the descriptions are transcribed from the game itself.

My Descriptions of the Wild Plants D0022
___________________________________________________________
These are my descriptions of the wild plants. These are in my own words,
but if you think you have a better description, please send me an e-mail!
Plants:
----------------------------------------
Apple: A stereotypical red apple.
----------------------------------------
Bamboo Shoots: A small light brown stump with little bits of yellow poking out
of it.
----------------------------------------
o o
Grass (all colors): It looks like a clover \_/ <<< Kind of looks like that,
if the o's were clover leaves. They're all different colors.
----------------------------------------
Weed: A dark green clump of grass.
----------------------------------------
Wild Grapes: A small bunch of purple grapes, oddly not attached to a vine or
anything.
----------------------------------------
Mushrooms:

Mushroom: A stereotypical looking mushroom. A light brown cap with a fat white
stem.
----------------------------------------
Poisonous Mushroom: Looks like the Mushroom, except with a red cap covered in
little yellow dots.

Truffle: It's small and has a dark brown cap and a small white stem. It looks
kind of shriveled up.
----------------------------------------
Flowers:
----------------------------------------
Blue Magic Grass: One large blue bell-shaped flower with a tiny green stem.
----------------------------------------
Moondrop Grass: Looks kind of like a dandelion with two puffy white flowers.

+I am missing small and medium rucksack plant collecting routes for summer and
fall. Does anyone care to write these?
===========================================================
Q: Can you hybrid wild plants in this game?
A: Nope, you can't hybrid at all! Hybridizing is unique to Harvest Moon:
A Wonderful Life & Another Wonderful Life.
===========================================================
Q: Does connecting to the GC version of the game give any wild plant
related extras?
A: Yes, it does. It gives you Van, a merchant whom you can befriend and
sell your flowers and other wild plants to. This is the only way to sell flowers
in FoMT, but in mFoMT it is apparently possible to also befriend Won and sell
him flowers as well (albeit at lower prices).
===========================================================
Q: Will I be credited if you put my question into this guide?
A: Yes, if you give me the name you'd like to be credited by. I will
also remove it or not put it in if you don't want your name displayed publicly
or don't want to receive credit.
===========================================================
Q: Is there a way to sell flowers?
A: Look at the Selling to Van section (quick search S0016). Also, it may
be possible to sell flowers to Won once you befriend him, but I am not 100% sure
of this.
Questions from public (feel free to send one in)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
===========================================================
(Question sent from Danny Smartt)
(Copied directly from E-mail)
Q: I'm just wondering, how does putting flowers into the vase affect
your stamina and fatigue? Which flowers do, which flowers don't? Do they really
have any affect at all or does the game just say that? If you could put that
into a section in your guide that would be helpful.
A: Check out the "Flowers in the Vase" section (quick search F0020).
===========================================================
(Question sent from SMurphy)
(Copied directly from E-mail)
Q: Ok there is one plant you didn't say how to find in your guide. It's
the red magic grass plant. I can't find it at all and I'm beginning to think it
doesn't exist. Please, tell me where it is!
A: This is covered in my guide, but you can only get the red magic
grass by growing it. Often times, you'll only get one red one per bag of seeds,
while the rest will be blue. For more information, check my Growing Wild Plants
section (quick search G0018).
===========================================================
(Question sent from 007baby)
(Copied directly from E-mail)
Q: Hey, whenever I plant blue magic grass, the next day the seeds
disappear. Even when I don't water them. what am I doing wrong?
A: You're planting them in the wrong season. Try planting them in Fall.
===========================================================
(Question sent from Ogre531)
(Copied directly from E-mail)
Q: I was reading your guide and it said the red magic grass was worth
200g but you usually get 1 red and the rest are blue. Well, how much does the
blue grass sell for? Or is the blue grass just the type of grass you find wild
in Summer?
A: The blue magic grass is the same type of grass you find wild in Fall.
It cannot be sold in the shipping bin, but it can be sold to Van for 163-171G.

(Copied directly from E-mail)
Q: Hello Mr.Aqlex239,
About your guide, there is a problem that I am struggling with:
Truffle: (3)
2 in Carter's Mushroom Plantation
on the path to the Harvest Goddess place
You see, I do not know where the last truffle is. I do not understand where the
Harvest Goddess place path is, if you could briefly explain to me I would be
grateful,
Thank You for your time,
A Reader
A: This section has now been rewritten, but I am keeping this up. You
can get there by breaking the huge rock next to the path up the mountain, but
you would need a cursed (or higher?) tool to break it.
===========================================================
(Question sent from Robert Martin)
(Copied directly from E-mail)
Q: How do you eat a plant?
A: Press L and B at the same time while holding the thing you want to
eat above your head. You can't eat flowers.
===========================================================
(Question sent from Rigo Herrera)
(Copied directly from E-mail)
Q: Hey I Read Your Guide But I Couldn't Find Out How I Can Eat Grass To
Recover Stamina And Fatigue.
A: Same answer as above. Press L and B at the same time while holding
the thing you want to eat above your head.
===========================================================
(Question sent from Jasmine)
(Copied directly from E-mail)
Q: You mentioned in your guide titled Wild Plants that there is white
grass behind Gotz house, I can't find it! :( The mayor has already come by my
farm and asked for it, but I simply can't find it! I even tried digging behind
his house! :( And I do not yet have access to Carter's secret mushroom patch.
Thanks so much for your time.
A: It can be found on the little pathway behind his house during Winter.
