List valid until 1.7.2012, now EVIRA (Finnish Food Safety Authority Evira) only makes recommendations of the species (the list is about the same as the earlier list), which can go to market, but all edible mushrooms can be on sale. Moreover, also the guidelines of the Nordic Co-operation cover Finland.
Some countries have legislation concerning mushroom picking and nature conservation.
