The gain gives you indication about the information of how a feature is important in making a branch of a decision tree more pure. But, by itself, you can't know if this feature has to be present or not to get a specific classification. In the example code, you may wonder if odor=none should be \code{TRUE} to not eat a mushroom.
Co-occurence computation is here to help in understanding this relation. It will counts how many observations have target function true. In our example, there are 92 times only over the 3140 observations of the train dataset where a mushroom have no odor and can be eaten safely.

If you need to remember one thing of all of this: until you want to leave us early, don't eat a mushroom which has no odor :-)
