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. ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== laakakorvasieni (Gyromitra perlata) lehtokorvasieni (Gyromitra gigas) === Further reading === “korvasieni”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023 == Karelian == === Etymology === From korva (“ear”) +‎ sieni (“mushroom”).
