  A nasty, sickly sweet, acidic smell that absolutely ruined all forms of mushroom and fungus for me because they seem interconnected, like a smell of decay and fermenting biology.

  I don’t have a great sense of smell, but I seem particularly sensitive to smells like ants and truffles, it makes me gag.

      No idea I can’t smell it, but my mom can. Maybe somebody else can chime in.

  To me they smell like a strong chemical-y smell. A lot like a Sharpie.

    Weird I didn’t realize that was an actual thing. That’s how worms smell to me too.
