Yes. Mushrooms at the store are at various ages. Normally spores are harvested when the veil has just broken from the underside of the mushroom. This exposes the gills and allows spores to fall out of the mushroom. If the mushrooms you have still have a veil, you can expect there are spores in there. You can take a spore print by sitting the mushroom on top of paper and waiting..
