How can I see if a mussel is still good?

A fresh mussel has a closed shell. When the shell is open, tap it for a moment. If the mussel does not close immediately, it is probably no longer good and you better throw it away.

Can I still eat the mussels if they have not opened completely?

If a mussel has not opened during cooking, it is better to throw it away. It may mean that the mussel is no longer good and then eating can lead to health problems.
