List of mycologists

This is a non-exhaustive list of mycologists, or scientists with a specialisation in mycology, with their author abbreviations. Because the study of lichens is traditionally considered a branch of mycology, lichenologists are included in this list.

Erik Acharius (1757–1857) pioneered the taxonomy of lichens.

Heinrich Anton de Bary (1831–1888) made extensive contributions to the understanding of plant pathology.

Miles Joseph Berkeley (1803–1889), an English botanist and clergyman, was a founder of the science of plant pathology.

Giacomo Bresadola (1847–1929) was a founding member of the Société mycologique de France.

The pioneering North American mycologist Job Bicknell Ellis described over 4000 species of fungi, and collected over 100,000 specimens.

Elias Magnus Fries (1794–1878) was the founding father of the modern taxonomy of mushrooms.

Emil Christian Hansen (1842–1909) described Saccharomyces carlsbergensis, a yeast used industrially for the production of lager beer.

H. W. Harkness (1821–1901) catalogued the fungi of California.

Petter Adolf Karsten (1834–1917) is considered the "father of Finnish mycology".

Inspired by his work with lichens, the Russian botanist Konstantin Mereschkowski (1855–1921) proposed the theory of symbiogenesis.

John Ramsbottom (1885–1974) was twice president of the British Mycological Society.

Fred Jay Seaver, a curator at the New York Botanical Garden and editor of the journal Mycologia between 1909 and 1947, specialised in the Discomycetes.

Carlos Luigi Spegazzini (1858–1926)

Johanna Westerdijk (1883–1961)
