Hermann Friedrich Bonorden (28 August 1801 – 19 May 1884) was a German physician and mycologist. During his career, he served as a Regimentarzt (regimental medical doctor) in Köln. [1]
In 1866, Stephan Schulzer von Müggenburg named the fungi genus Bonordenia in his honor. The genus Bonordeniella was named after him by Albert Julius Otto Penzig and Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1901. [1] Bonorden was the author of numerous mycological taxa; the following are some of the genera that he circumscribed:
He was the author of books in the fields of medicine and mycology, the following are three of his mycological efforts:
The Monimiaceae is a family of flowering plants in the magnoliid order Laurales. It is closely related to the families Hernandiaceae and Lauraceae. It consists of shrubs, small trees, and a few lianas of the tropics and subtropics, mostly in the southern hemisphere. The largest center of diversity is New Guinea, with about 75 species. Lesser centres of diversity are Madagascar, Australia, and the neotropics. Africa has one species, Xymalos monospora, as does Southern Chile. Several species are distributed through Malesia and the southwest Pacific.
Petter Adolf Karsten was a Finnish mycologist, the foremost expert on the fungi of Finland in his day, and known in consequence as the "father of Finnish mycology".
Pier Andrea Saccardo was an Italian botanist and mycologist. He was also the author of a color classification system that he called Chromotaxia. He was elected to the Linnean Society in 1916 as a foreign member. His multi-volume Sylloge Fungorum was one of the first attempts to produce a comprehensive treatise on the fungi which made use of the spore-bearing structures for classification.
Paul Kummer was a minister, teacher, and scientist in Zerbst, Germany, known chiefly for his contribution to mycological nomenclature. Earlier classification of agarics by pioneering fungal taxonomist Elias Magnus Fries designated only a very small number of genera, with most species falling into Agaricus. These few genera were divided into many tribus. In his 1871 work, Der Führer in die Pilzkunde, Kummer raised the majority of Fries "tribus" to the status of genus, thereby establishing many of the generic names for agarics that are in use to this day. In 1874 he issued the work Der Führer in die Flechtenkunde with numbered lichen specimens arranged in two plates like an exsiccata.
Louis René Étienne Tulasne, a.k.a. Edmond Tulasne was a French botanist and mycologist born in Azay-le-Rideau.
Gustav Kunze was a German professor of zoology, an entomologist and botanist with an interest mainly in ferns and orchids.
Julius Oscar Brefeld, usually just Oscar Brefeld, was a German botanist and mycologist.
Adalbert Ricken was a German Roman Catholic priest and mycologist born in Fulda.
Alexander Hanchett Smith was an American mycologist known for his extensive contributions to the taxonomy and phylogeny of the higher fungi, especially the agarics.
Bovista aestivalis is a species of small puffball in the family Agaricaceae. It is generally found in the coastal regions of California, but was reported from Korea in 2015. This fungus is often confused with Bovista dermoxantha, because of its similar peridium, and Bovista plumbea. The surest way to tell the species apart is to examine the spores and exoperidium, respectively, with a microscope.
Otidea is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus is widely distributed in northern temperate regions.
Hans Sydow was a German mycologist and the son of mycologist and lichenologist, Paul Sydow (1851–1925).
František Kotlaba was a Czech botanist and mycologist.
Jean Baptiste Henri Joseph Desmazières was a merchant of Lille and an amateur mycologist. He was the editor of the scientific journals "Annales des sciences naturelles" and the "Bulletin de la société des sciences de Lille".
Heinrich Gustav Flörke was a German botanist and lichenologist. The standard author abbreviation Flörke is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
Fusicolla is a genus of seven species of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Hermann Friedrich Bonorden in 1851. Fungi in the genus produce slimy orange sheets over the substrate, within which the perithecia can be either fully or partially immersed. Asexual spores are similar to those of Fusarium.
Albert Julius Otto Penzig, also referred to as Albertus Giulio Ottone Penzig was a German mycologist.
Franz Petrak was an Austrian-Czech mycologist.
Franz Oberwinkler was a German mycologist, specialising in the fungal morphology, ecology and phylogeny of basidiomycetes.
Josef Herink was a Czech physician and mycologist.
