Description: False morel fungi (Gyromitra esculenta) for sale at the Helsinki market square. 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 purpose of the big "Don't touch!" sign is presumably to make sure tourists won't try to grab samples to taste.
