Description:

Description: Suomi: Korvasieniä myynnissä helsinkiläisen tavaratalon ruokaosastolla. Suomen laki sallii korvasienten myynnin tuoreena, kunhan niiden myrkyllisyydestä varoitetaan selkeästi ja niiden mukana on lainmukainen valmistusohje. (Oheinen lappu roikkui kaupassa sienten yläpuolella, siirsin sen henkilökunnan luvalla sienten viereen saadakseni molemmat kuvaan.) English: False morel fungi (Gyromitra esculenta) for sale at a department store in Helsinki. Though deadly poisonous unless properly parboiled, these mushrooms are considered a local delicacy, and Finnish law permits their sale fresh as long they are accompanied by conspicuous warnings and government-approved preparation instructions. (The mandatory warning label was originally hanging above the mushrooms; I moved it, with the permission of the staff, down to get both into the same picture.). Date: 4 June 2008. Source: Own work.
