Paurankivaara is a big mountain with pristine-like pine and spruce forest. The amount of hanging lichens is remarkable and the forest is more or less untouched – possibly because of the low productivity.
17 red-listed species were found in the forest such as: Antrodia infirma (EN), Antrodia primaeva(EN), Laurilia sulcata (VU) & Oligoporus lateritius (VU).
