it's a grading system.... For porcini it goes something like this: #1 are young buttons... basically, you can't slip your thumb in between the cap and the stalk... #2 are open to the point where you can slip your thumb in and touch the pore surface. #3 are fully open and the pore surface has started to yellow. #4 the pore surfaces are brown and the texture is starting to become soft and spongy. Beyond that they are invariably full of maggots... fungus gnat larvae... not fly larvae...
Didn't know the casino has food. Is it like those Vegas style buffets? I think I'd like to check it out for the food sometime. I'm a little bit obsessive at the moment though.
