does fresh bamboo shoot smell like ammonia/urine the way canned ones sometimes do?

I saw a recipe for stir-fried bamboo shoots that looks delicious and I really want to try it, but I'm not a fan of canned bamboo shoots (the bamboo shoots that are often served in ramen or curries in restaurants. i just assume restaurants use canned for ease/bulk/expense factor), as I find they have a strong ammonia scent.

I don't want to waste money and time and food if the fresh stuff has a similar scent!
