Laeticorticium Roseum
''Corticium roseum'' is a species of fungus in the family Corticiaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are effused, smooth, corticioid, and pink. The species has a wide, north and south temperate distribution and in Europe is typically found on dead, attached branches of '' Salix'' and ''Populus''. Taxonomy ''Corticium roseum'' was originally described by Persoon in 1794 as part of his new genus '' Corticium''. It was later selected as the type species of the genus.Donk MA. (1963). The generic names proposed for Hymenomycetes XIII. ''Taxon'' 12: 158-159. Morphological differences between collections indicated that ''C. roseum'' might be a species complex and several new species were described. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has partly confirmed this. ''Corticium boreoroseum ''Corticium'' may refer to two different genera: * ''Corticium'' (fungus), a genus of fungi * ''Corticium'' (sponge), a genus of sea sponges in the family Plakin ...

Christiaan Hendrik Persoon
Christiaan Hendrik Persoon (1 February 1761 – 16 November 1836) was a German mycologist who made additions to Linnaeus' mushroom taxonomy. Early life Persoon was born in South Africa at the Cape of Good Hope, the third child of an immigrant Pomeranian father and Dutch mother. His mother died soon after he was born; at the age of thirteen his father (who died a year later) sent him to Europe for his education. Education Initially studying theology at Halle, at age 22 (in 1784) Persoon switched to medicine at Leiden and Göttingen. He received a doctorate from the "Kaiserlich-Leopoldinisch-Carolinische Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher" in 1799. Later years He moved to Paris in 1802, where he spent the rest of his life, renting an upper floor of a house in a poor part of town. He was apparently unemployed, unmarried, poverty-stricken and a recluse, although he corresponded with botanists throughout Europe. Because of his financial difficulties, Persoon agreed to dona ...
