Durian must never be plucked. They have to naturally drop when it ripens. All durians in Malaysia are picked when they drop on the ground. Durians can't be over ripe. If it is mushy, it may be because of the species or have been kept opened for too long. Once opened, you must finish eating it or keep in the fridge.
Love yr sharing of knowledge eating the Musang King & the Black Thorn varieties of durians. Ditto, likening yr analogy of eating these 2 varieties to eating milk chocolates & dark chocolates. 😋😍👍👏🙌🤜🤛
