Those do not drop guck. They drop ooze.
Aboms drop guck.

How do I upgrade my crafting stations though? I built everything around it and nothing more shows in when I pull out the hammer. Same goes for the cauldron, nothing shows up for me to upgrade it.

He didn't say what you can make with them.

I think you need 10 roots, about 5(?) ancient bark and some deer skins to craft the
the root hasneck or root leggings. I forget how much you need for the mask but
if you have enough in your inventory the items should be at the top of the list
and craftable on a level 2 workbench. You have to kill a goodly number of root
monsters and upgrade your workbench to fully upgrade the root armor.
Each root monster drops 5 roots and 4 guck.
It takes awhile but those annoying root monsters respawn and you'll eventually
get all you need. you WANT the mask for the swamp as it gives you poison resist.

You make root armor on the workbench. And when you have some extra iron bars
make nails; that will unlock some furniture and most importantly the longboat.

I have ancienbark but I have no new crafteble items in the workbench/forge

This. You may still not have all of the right items. Also, are you running mods? If so disable/remove them and try again.

To unlock all stuff from swamp you need to kill all mobs there.
- draugr (entrails)
- elite draugr (trophy)
- leech (bloodbag)
- blob (guck - also mineable at some trees)
- ooze (ooze? and sometimes scrap iron)
- wraith (chain)
- abomination (roots)
Additional but not necessary for new stuff: surtlings for cores and coal, their trophy is a nice little light, that doesn't need fuel.

Scrap iron (drops sometimes from ooze or mined in crypts) needs to be smelted, pickup the ingot!

- find a turnip seed plant and cultivate it, pick up the turnip then. The plant sometimes is hard to find, pretty rare. Don't give up watching out for a little yellowish plant like the carrot plants in dark forest.

- chop an old tree to get ancient bark (also in chests in crypts) the big ones are indestructible but the small ones can be chopped.

Good luck and take care, swamp can be dangerous;-)

Yeah you need to plant those seeds and grow yourself some turnips. That should unlock that spice rack for you.

If you forge an iron ingot a whole lot of recipes open up

Did you get turnip seeds? I'm assuming you've got a cauldron. You'll need turnips to unlock things like turnip stew, and you'll also need to craft a spice rack to get the second-tier recipes (and the spice rack requires turnips).
