Panellus Haematopus
''Panellus'' is a genus of more than 50 mushroom species of fungi in the family Mycenaceae as defined molecularly. Prior to molecular analyses the generic name had been used for any white-spored ''Pleurotoid fungi, pleurotoid'' with amyloid (mycology), amyloid spores. Unrelated but similar species are now classified in ''Sarcomyxa'' and ''Scytinotus''. In older guides and other literature the type species had been placed in either ''Pleurotus'' or ''Panus'' and the poroid species had been classified in the synonymous genus ''Dictyopanus'' or in broadly defined genera like ''Polyporus'' (Polyporaceae) or the more closely allied ''Favolaschia'' (Mycenaceae). The closest molecular allies are ''Resinomycena'' and ''Cruentomycena''. Description The basidiocarp, fruit bodies of ''Panellus'' species are small- or medium-sized and in most cases ''Pleurotoid fungi, pleurotoid'', meaning they grow on wood, have lamella (mycology), gills (some species have pores instead of gills), and usuall ...

Petter Karsten
Petter Adolf Karsten (16 February 1834 – 22 March 1917) was a Finland, Finnish mycology, mycologist, the foremost expert on the fungi of Finland in his day, and known in consequence as the "father of Finnish mycology". Karsten was born in Merimasku near Turku, studied at the University of Helsinki, and then moved to the inland of Tammela, Finland, Tammela, where he spent most of his life with teaching botany and doing research at the Mustiala Agriculture Institute (now the Faculty of Agriculture of the HAMK University of Applied Sciences). He amassed a vast collection, both by his own efforts and those of his correspondents, and named about 200 new genera and 2,000 new species. In his mycological studies he extensively used the microscope and can be considered as the pioneer of fungal microscopy. ''Karstenia'', the international journal of mycology published by the Finnish Mycological Society, is dedicated to Karsten. Honours In 1885, botanist Elias Magnus Fries published ''Kar ...
