sienilajien

Sienilajien is a term used in Finnish to refer to fungal species. Finland has a rich diversity of fungi, with thousands of species documented. These include a wide array of mushrooms, molds, and yeasts, playing vital roles in forest ecosystems as decomposers, symbionts, and parasites. Many sienilajien are edible and sought after for their culinary value, while others are poisonous and can cause severe illness or death. Scientific research continues to identify and classify new fungal species in Finland, contributing to our understanding of biodiversity and the ecological importance of fungi. The study and identification of fungal species are subjects of mycology, a branch of biology.
