Why is the mushroom named Tellervo's gift?

Kind of curious. The mushroom can't even be eaten raw but it's called a gift from the goddess of forest

My guess is that they seem to be the last mushrooms to wither and they can be picked well into winter after the snows have started falling.  My latest character found many of them while hunting near his settlement (between Sartola and the Driik).  After boiling them, they kept well in the cellar for many months inside of a wooden bowl.  They were mostly used as an addition to meat stews.
