Bres.
Giacomo Bresadola ( Mezzana, Trento; often given as Giacopo) 14 February 1847 – Trento 9 June 1929) was an eminent Italian mycologist. Fungi he named include the deadly ''Lepiota helveola'' and ''Inocybe patouillardii'', though the latter is now known as ''Inosperma erubescens'' as this latter description predated Bresadola's by a year. He was a founding member of the ''Société mycologique de France'' (Mycology Society of France). Life Bresadola was born in 1847 into a farming family in Trent, then an Austrian possession. From a very early age, he showed an interest in botany. After attending elementary school at Mezzana, he was sent by his father to Cloz in the Val di Non at the age of nine to continue his studies with his uncle who was a priest. His uncle, however, considered him too rambunctious and quickly sent him home again. In 1857, his father moved to Montichiari in Brescia to become a bronze merchant. At twelve years of age, he left to study at the technical i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lepiota Helveola
''Lepiota helveola'' is a gilled mushroom of the genus ''Lepiota'' in the order Agaricales. It was described by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola in 1882. It has white gills and spores. They typically have rings on the stems, Like several other species of the genus ''Lepiota'', it contains amatoxins which may cause potentially fatal liver injury. Descriprtion Cap 1.5–3 cm in diameter, convex to spreading, often with flattened disc, sometimes depressed, fibrillose, with fibrous scales at disc on whitish ground, fine concentric scales recurved around edges, moderate reddish brown, sometimes tinged pink to vinous, with a straight or wavy margin, sometimes raised with age. Blades free, set on a dark collarium on one or two thirds, white then creamy buff, tight, with finely fringed edges.

Inosperma Erubescens
''Inocybe erubescens'', also known as ''I. patouillardii'', commonly known as the deadly fibrecap, brick-red tear mushroom or red-staining Inocybe, is a poisonous basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus ''Inocybe'' and one of the few known to have caused death. It is found growing in small groups on leaf litters in association with beech. All mushroom guidebooks as well as the mushroomers advise that the entire genus should be avoided. The fruit bodies (''i.e.'', the mushrooms) appear in spring and summer; the bell-shaped caps are generally pale pinkish in colour with red stains, with a reddish-pink stipe and gills. Taxonomy and naming The red-staining inocybe was first described by Norwegian naturalist Axel Gudbrand Blytt in 1904 as ''Inocybe erubescens''. However, it was widely known for many years as ''I. patouillardii'', as named by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola in 1905 in honour of the French botanist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard.

Francesco Ambrosi
Francesco Ambrosi (November 17, 1821 – 9 April 1897) was an Italian botanist, librarian, ethnologist and historian. Biography Ambrosi was born to a family of herders in Borgo Valsugana, the present day Italian province of Trentinoat that time part of the (Princely) County of Tyrol, a crown land of the Austrian Empire. He was not able to attend school, but he pursued self-taught studies in the natural sciences, history, philosophy and, in particular, botany. He devoted himself to botany by studying under Francesco Angelo Facchini and Casimiro Sartorelli, focusing on the flora of the Trentino region. He published many scientific works, notably, in 1851, ''Prospetto delle specie zoologiche conosciute nel Trentino''. In 1853 he married Elisa Zanollo, and the couple would have eight children together, though five of died in infancy. In 1854 he began publishing the journal ''La flora del Tirolo meridionale'', which was discontinued in 1857 before he was able to complete the detaile ...

Adalbert Ricken
Adalbert Ricken (18 March 1851 – 1 March 1921) was a German Roman Catholic priest and mycologist born in Fulda. He attended the seminary for Roman Catholic priests in Fulda, and afterwards was a priest and chaplain at several locations in the Fulda diocese. He made contributions in the classification of fungi, and was the author of a popular textbook on mushrooms called ''Vademecum für Pilzfreunde''Digital editionby the University and State Library Düsseldorf). Another noted work by Ricken was ''Die Blätterpilze (Agaricaceae) Deutschlands und der angrenzenden Länder, besonders Oesterreichs und der Schweiz'' (1915), a publication on fungi from the family Agaricaceae that are native to central Europe. The genus ''Rickenella'' from the family Repetobasidiaceae Repetobasidiaceae is a phylogenetically defined family encompassing resupinate, poroid, stereoid, clavarioid, and agaric An agaric () is a type of fungus fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus ( ...

Agaricomycetes
The Agaricomycetes are a class of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. The taxon is roughly identical to that defined for the Homobasidiomycetes (alternatively called holobasidiomycetes) by Hibbett & Thorn, with the inclusion of Auriculariales and Sebacinales. It includes not only mushroom-forming fungi, but also most species placed in the deprecated taxa Gasteromycetes and Homobasidiomycetes. Within the subdivision Agaricomycotina, which already excludes the smut and rust fungi, the Agaricomycetes can be further defined by the exclusion of the classes Tremellomycetes and Dacrymycetes, which are generally considered to be jelly fungi. However, a few former "jelly fungi", such as ''Auricularia'', are classified in the Agaricomycetes. According to a 2008 estimate, Agaricomycetes include 17 orders, 100 families, 1147 genera, and about 21000 species. Modern molecular phylogenetic analyses have been since used to help define several new orders in the Agaricomycetes: Amylocorticiales ...

Lucien Quélet
Lucien Quélet in 1869 Lucien Quélet (14 July 1832 – 25 August 1899) was a French naturalist and mycologist. Quélet discovered several species of fungi and was the founder of the Société mycologique de France, a society devoted to mycological studies. Quélet, having been born in Montécheroux, Doubs, to a farmer, was soon orphaned, and spent his childhood with and was raised by his aunts. In his youth, he is known to have shown a great interest in mycology and botany in general, but also other subject areas such as ornithology and malacology, the study of mollusks. He was schooled at the Montbéliard college, and later studied medicine in Strasbourg. In 1884, he founded the mycological society known as the Société mycologique de France, of which he became the first president. Several years after this, in 1888, Quélet wrote a book, ''Flore mycologique de la France et des pays limitrophes'' (''Mycological flora of France and neighbouring countries''). Quélet also des ...

University Of Padua
The University of Padua ( it, Università degli Studi di Padova, UNIPD) is an Italian university located in the city of Padua, region of Veneto, northern Italy. The University of Padua was founded in 1222 by a group of students and teachers from Bologna. Padua is the second-oldest university in Italy and the world's fifth-oldest surviving university. In 2010, the university had approximately 65,000 students. In 2021, it was ranked second "best university" among Italian institutions of higher education with more than 40,000 students according to Censis institute, and among the best 200 universities in the world according to ARWU. History The university is conventionally said to have been founded in 1222 when a large group of students and professors left the University of Bologna in search of more academic freedom ('Libertas scholastica'). The first subjects to be taught were law and theology. The curriculum expanded rapidly, and by 1399 the institution had divided in two: a ''Univ ...

In 1879 he became a professor of Botany and director of the botanical gardens of the university until 1915. He accumulated around 70,000 fungal specimens encompassing over 18,500 different species for his herbarium. Which is still stored at the university. Saccardo's scientific activity focused almost entirely on mycology. He wrote his first book in 1864 (when he was 19 years old), ''Flora Montellica: an introduction to the flo ...
