Description: 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.)
