Does Wild Shape need a Druidic focus to be effective?

Druids can use wild shapes without the need for a spellcasting focal. A spellcasting focus is not necessary for any spellcaster.

A character can substitute the [material] components for a spell using a component pouch or a spellcasting focus.

A spellcasting focal is not required to use class features unless they state so. You also don’t need one to cast spells without material components. It means that even druids don’t have any equipment, they can still cast spells and use Wild Shape and other class features.

Druidic focus requires free hands in 5e dnd

A freehand is required for druidic focus, arcane focus, and component pouches.

These are the rules:

Spell components S – need a hand

Spell components M – need a freehand

Both Spell components M and S require a free hand (just 1, not 2).

The exception to this rule is holy symbols. They can be attached to or worn on a shield. You don’t need a freehand if a spell requires V components but not M.

What is the difference between the mistletoe sprig used to focus druidic attention and the one Goodberry uses as a material component?

A sprig full of mistletoe can be described as a sprig. To cast spells, the druid needs a sprig full of mistletoe. That is listed in the equipment section at one gp. It is not listed anywhere as a sprig with special blessings. Rules-as-written, you can use any sprigs of mistletoe to focus your spellcasting (unless the DM says otherwise).

It is a sprig made of mistletoe and meets the requirements for goodberry material. Spell components cannot be consumed unless the spell states so.

There’s no reason why a wizard’s pouch of spell components should contain all possible spell components for spells they don’t have—for example, a sprig of mistletoe pouch for the druid.

Chapter 10 of the Rules-as-written states that a spell components pouch can be used instead of the actual material components to cast a spell. Technically, the druid could borrow the wizard’s pouch to replace his mistletoe. However, the rules do not allow you to take out components separately. Although you can cast with a focal, a material component, or a component pouch, it is not permitted to be divided up into separate pouches.

On the other hand, a component pouch is an empty pouch that you can use to store all your material components and any other special items needed to cast your spells. A wizard’s component pouch for spells is nothing but a pouch that he uses to store his spell components, not all of them. If you are a realist, then you cannot take his mistletoe unless one of his spells calls for mistletoe. All mistletoe can be taken from your wizard’s pouch. If you’re realistic, there isn’t any mistletoe in him.

Summary

It is all about focus of druidic magic. A druidic focus could be a sprig made of mistletoe, holly, a whip or scepter made from yew, or staff made whole out of a live tree. Or a totem object that incorporates feathers, fur, bone, and teeth taken from sacred animals. There are many options. Keep it natural. Shamanic rattles, a broken branch of a tree, a handcrafted stone knife, washed in the blood from a stag during one of your sacred full moon hunts, or something similar.
