Usage notes
Korvasieni is often ambiguously translated into English as false morel or even more misleadingly as morel (a term which usually refers to mushrooms referred to in Finnish as huhtasieni). The latter is a particularly dangerous mistranslation, as brain mushrooms are highly toxic (even potentially lethally so) and need to be prepared correctly in order to be safe for consumption.
