Donating to the museum[edit]

In New Horizons[edit]

When donating to the museum, Blathers will say the following:

"Did you know that the mussel has a beard?! Hoo! It's true! Well, partially true, anyway. Mussels have a special gland that secretes a thing called "byssus" or "byssal thread." They use these tough beard-like fibers to anchor themselves to rocks and keep themselves in place. So, you see, the mussel's beard is functional rather than merely stylish. Then again, perhaps all beards should be this way."

Once donated, the mussel is located in the coral reef tank.
