võilib

Võilib is a term that can refer to several things, primarily related to mushrooms in Estonian and Finnish languages. In Estonian, "võilib" translates directly to "butter mushroom" and is the common name for Suillus luteus, a species of edible mushroom found in coniferous forests. This mushroom is characterized by its slimy, yellowish-brown cap and a prominent, white, net-like pattern on its stem. It is a popular choice for foraging and culinary use due to its mild, buttery flavor and firm texture.

In Finnish, the word "voilib" is not a standard term. However, similar-sounding words or variations might be used colloquially or in specific regional dialects. The most likely interpretation of "võilib" in a Finnish context would still point towards mushrooms, perhaps a mispronunciation or a less common name for a butter mushroom species if one exists or is recognized locally. Generally, the term is most strongly associated with the Estonian language and the specific mushroom species Suillus luteus. Culinary preparations often involve frying or pickling, with the slimy cap layer usually removed before cooking.
