It's an easy question to answer and one we get asked quite frequently. Mushrooms are a fungus, so, as with all other fungus products, they grow best when they're in the soil where they were created. So, how do you know that a mushroom is fresh? You can smell it; taste it; or just simply hold it up to your nose and decide. We've all been pranked (whether by our friends or enemies) or given an "experiment" at one time or another...sometimes in front of our face.
