Panellus Brunneomaculatus
''Panellus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Mycenaceae. The species are small to medium, typically Pleurotoid fungi, pleurotoid and sometimes bioluminescent. Taxonomy There are more than 50 species in the genus 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, pl ...

Petter Karsten
Petter Adolf Karsten (16 February 1834 – 22 March 1917) was a Finnish 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, 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. Between 1861 and 1870 Karsten edited the exsiccata series ''Fungi Fenniae exsiccati. Samling af Finska svampar'' with 1,000 numbers. In his mycological studies he extensively used the microscope and can be considered as the pioneer of fungal microscopy.
