So you may think! But I left three pounds of potatoes on a high shelf and forgot all summer til I noticed a smell. They rotted and started leaking everywhere. It stained the shelf. Potatoes will come for you if you give them time, humidity and heat
I also discovered this. I was panicking a little bit when I started smelling what seemed like sewage in my basement. In a 100 year old house, I was wondering what broke. After a few hours, I figured out that there were potatoes rotting in the pantry, which was more open to the basement than it was to the main floor of the house - so all the smell sank down there. It was honestly a relief.
