Eduard Fischer (mycologist)
Eduard Fischer (16 June 1861 – 18 November 1939) was a Swiss botanist and mycologist. Life Fischer was the son of botanist Ludwig Fischer, a professor and director of the state botanic garden. Fischer studied at the University of Bern and graduated in 1883 with mushroom researcher Heinrich Anton de Bary in Strasbourg, with whom he studied Gasteromycetes. During further studies in Berlin during 1884–1885, he worked with Simon Schwendener (1829–1919), August Wilhelm Eichler (1839–1887) and Paul Friedrich August Ascherson (1834–1913). In 1885 Fischer was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Bern; 1893, he was promoted to associate professor. From 1897 to 1933 he was professor of botany and general biology at the university, and succeeded his father as director of the Botanic Garden and Botanical Institute in Bern. In 1899, Fischer married Johanna Gruner, who came from a scholarly family. He died in Bern on 18 November 1939, aged 78. He was the father of the pian ...

Calostomataceae
''Calostoma'' is a genus of 29 species of gasteroid fungi in the suborder Sclerodermatineae. Like other gasteroid fungi, ''Calostoma'' do not have the spore discharge mechanism associated with typical gilled fungi ( ballistospory), and instead have enclosed spore-bearing structures. Resembling round puffballs with raised, brightly-colored spore openings (osteoles), elevated on a thick, gelatinous stalks, species have been collected in regions of deciduous, temperate, tropical or subtropical forests. Their distribution includes eastern North America, Central America, Asia, and Australasia. The common name given to some species, "prettymouth", alludes to the brightly-colored raised openings (osteoles) that may somewhat resemble lips. Other common names include "hotlips" and "puffball in aspic". The unusual fruit body structure has historically led mycologists to suggest various classification schemes based on presumed relationships to other puffball or "stomach mushrooms". Phylog ...

Staheliomyces Cinctus 121473
''Staheliomyces'' is a fungal genus in the stinkhorn family. The genus was considered monotypic for over 100 years, containing the single neotropical species ''Staheliomyces cinctus'', until a 2022 study revealed four additional, cryptic species. Members are colloquially known as the strangled stinkhorns. The genus is found in Central America and northern South America. The fruit body of the fungus is a hollow, whitish, cylindric stalk up to tall, with conspicuous pits and holes. Near the top of the stalk is a pinched-off zone covered with unpleasant-smelling slimy spore mass called gleba. The gleba attracts stingless bees that help disseminate the spores. Taxonomy The genus was first described scientifically by the German mycologist Eduard Fischer in 1921. The specific epithet honors Gerold Stahel (1887 - 1955) a Swiss botanist who collected the type specimen in Suriname. The fungus has been called the "strangled stinkhorn".
