Mushroom Stew

Mushroom stew (aka mushroom soup) heals for and is obtained by combining a bowl and two mushrooms - one brown, one red.

All the ingredients for mushroom stew are stackable to 64, and the bowls can be reused after eating. This lends itself very well for stockpiling, as it takes up very little inventory/chest space.

Cons

 * Mushroom stew is a somewhat difficult item to obtain because of the limited availability of mushrooms in the environment. Foraging requires constant travel and places the player at greater risk, especially when the presence of hostile mobs are considered.
 * While mushrooms are more abundant in the Nether, the terrain and fauna (ghasts, sudden cliffs, multiple lava springs and lakes) of the underworld pose greater risks on their own.
 * Because a single bowl restores half of the full amount of health, the healing potential of mushroom stew can be wasted if the player is already somewhat healthy before eating it.

Pros

 * Bowls are re-usable, being returned to the player empty after eating.
 * While mushroom stew cannot stack like other foods, its components can be stacked to 64, making stew a good candidate for stockpiling.
 * Including the workbench needed to craft mushroom stew, only 4 inventory spaces are needed to yield 320 of healing as needed.
