Biographical Sketches of Deceased North American Biographical Sketches of Deceased North American Mycologists including a few European Mycologists L. R. Hesler January 1975 FORWARD Ron Petersen University of Tennessee May 2020 For the first half of his long career, Lexemual Ray Hesler (1888-1977) was a plant pathologist. His interest in botany was sparked by his mentor at Wabash College (class of 1911), Mason Blanchard Thomas, professor of botany and horticulture. Thomas’ time at Wabash was marked by his uncanny identification of promising young men and encouraging them to continue their studies at leading universities. But that is only one side of the equation. Once a student was discovered, graduate studies required funds to pay for tuition, books, board, and room. Often, a former student, now on the faculty of a more comprehensive university (Yale and Cornell come to mind), made arrangements for an earmarked fellowship. Hesler benefited by such. Herbet Hice Whetzel (Wabash class of 1902, by 1911 head of the Department of Plant Pathology at Cornell University) arranged a fellowship for Hesler assisting apple growers in upstate New York in the summer of Hesler’s graduation from Wabash. In September, Hesler enrolled at Cornell in plant pathology. The next three summers were spent in the orchards. There followed the Cornell Ph. D. in 1914, and retention on the Cornell Plant Pathology Department faculty until his move to Tennessee in 1919. At Tennessee, administrative duties (i.e. Head of the new Department of Botany and later Dean of the College of Liberal Arts until his retirement in 1958) reduced research time, but his plant pathological interests didn’t flag. Then, in December 1934, a disastrous fire destroyed the building in which the life sciences were housed, including botany. All was lost; for Hesler, seven thousand herbarium specimens, a small but costly library, notes and manuscripts. But if the fire was a total loss, it was also a life-changing punctuation as well. Pre-fire, Hesler had begun taking interest in the abundant fleshy fungi of the nearby Appalachian Mountains. Post-fire, he began expressing that interest, collecting, photographing, writing descriptions, preserving fresh material, and reaching out to whomever was the authority on each taxonomic group for help in identification. The distinction between plant pathology and mycology dated a few decades previous. William Ashbrook Kellerman had started The Journal of Mycology with just such separation in his mind. The plant pathologists had their interests and their journals for research publication. His Journal was mycological. Two decades later, Cornell’s Department of Plant Pathology, under Whetzel, had a separate faculty appointment for a mycologist, who, far-outnumbered by pathologists, was not expected to do pathological research. In short, mycology represented taxonomy; plant pathology was the application of “basic research” to growth, well-being, and marketing of cultivated products. The present volume presents the second half of Hesler’s career. His concern was that the names of mycologists (almost no plant pathologists) he came to know in the research community, often personally, would not easily be connected by upcoming generations of students to a persona, a life and a career. A concerted effort to amass such a collection of “thumb-nail biographies” was started about 1970 and was loose-leaf bound in 1975. Hesler opined that the volume of 124 brief biographies ranging from a half-page to five pages, was not ready for publication because he had not exhausted available background material. To do so would have required many typed letters to government and university archivists and distant colleagues, days or weeks for replies and collation into the growing volume. It is salutary to remember that computers and their instant correcting ability in manuscripts, file-saving, and resurrection, much less “e-mail,” were still 20 to 30 years ahead. Today, one can find more material on almost any name on-line in a couple hours than Hesler could in days or weeks. Using this thread as an excuse, each of Hesler’s biographies is an invitation to further explore the person featured. For those with a historical bent, each of the people featured lived a life span in locations, at schools, on faculties, each of which is worthy of investigation. Search engines, charged with a full name, date of birth and some modifier, usually “botanist” or “mycologist,” can furnish embellishments. Soon, some relationships emerge (i.e. the Morrill Act, creating Land-Grant Colleges, occurred shortly before the lives of many of the featured mycologists and in many cases provided their first—or second or third—job. The Second Morrill Act created agricultural experiment stations). If this invitation to further “peel the onion” were accepted, Hesler would smile.

A few Europeans whose biographies were readily available to me are also included. It is a compilation and is not a history. To compensate for brevity, I have included references to my sources, and have indicated whether or not a photograph and a list of publications accompany the biographical account. Some Helpful Sources Besides scientific journals, several book-size publications have been most helpful. The more important sources include: • Stevenson, John A.

Although born in the State of Washington, at Waverly, in 1900, the family later moved to Michigan and then to Indiana, where his father was a farmer. He earned the B. S. degree at Michigan State College (now University) in 1927, and the M. S., also at Michigan State, in 1929. There, under E. A. Bessey (son of C. E. Bessey, Nebraska), he developed a life-time interest in the fungi. After one year at The Ohio Agriculture Experiment Station, Wooster, he married Willa Love Galyon, a Knoxvillian and a graduate of University of Tennessee, and whom Ames met while both were graduate students with Bessey. That same year (1930), he became Austin Teaching Fellow in Botany at Harvard, where he was awarded the Ph.D. in 1933. After some years with the U. S. Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, he was appointed in 1944 as Research Mycologist to the Army, at Fort Belvoir, to study causes and control of fabric disintegration; and finally, he became Dean of Graduate Studies there under the auspices of The Catholic University, Washington, D.C. On retirement in 1961, he re-activated an old interest which he had in fungus diseases in man, and for a time he was adviser to Children's Hospital, District of Columbia, and later was Research Professor at American University stationed at Sibley Hospital there. He died suddenly of a heart attack in 1966. Reference • Diehl, Wm. W. Lawrence Marion Ames. Mycologia 59: 189-191. 1967. With photograph and publications list. Joseph Charles Arthur 1850 – 1942 Born in Lowville, New York, on January 11, 1850, Arthur's family moved first to Illinois, then in about 1856 to a farm near Charles City, Iowa. He was one of the first students to enroll at the newly opened Iowa State College (now University) at Ames, in 1869. Arthur had been interested in plants and hoped to study them at Iowa. But when he entered Iowa, he found that no course in botany was being taught. One of the professors procured for him a book, “Eton's Manual”, which Arthur read. Real help came the next year when Charles E. Bessey (later at Nebraska) came to Iowa as an Instructor in Botany. During his remaining days at Iowa he took courses with Bessey. Arthur graduated with the B. S. degree from Iowa State in 1872. At that time, however, there were no openings in botany in American colleges. During the next few years, he marked time until 1876 when he accepted an Instructorship at Iowa State which position he held for two years (1876-1878). During this time, he met Holway, Uredinologist, and their association continued until Holway's death in 1923. In 1877, Arthur took the M. S. at Iowa State.

  • Bur¯Aq Depicted As Amanita Muscaria in a 15Th Century Timurid-Illuminated Manuscript?
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Journal of Psychedelic Studies 3(2), pp. 133–141 (2019) DOI: 10.1556/2054.2019.023 First published online September 24, 2019 Bur¯aq depicted as Amanita muscaria in a 15th century Timurid-illuminated manuscript? ALAN PIPER* Independent Scholar, Newham, London, UK (Received: May 8, 2019; accepted: August 2, 2019) A series of illustrations in a 15th century Timurid manuscript record the mi’raj, the ascent through the seven heavens by Mohammed, the Prophet of Islam. Several of the illustrations depict Bur¯aq, the fabulous creature by means of which Mohammed achieves his ascent, with distinctive features of the Amanita muscaria mushroom. A. muscaria or “fly agaric” is a psychoactive mushroom used by Siberian shamans to enter the spirit world for the purposes of conversing with spirits or diagnosing and curing disease. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author explores the routes by which Bur¯aq could have come to be depicted in this manuscript with the characteristics of a psychoactive fungus, when any suggestion that the Prophet might have had recourse to a drug to accomplish his spirit journey would be anathema to orthodox Islam. There is no suggestion that Mohammad’s night journey (isra) or ascent (mi’raj) was accomplished under the influence of a psychoactive mushroom or plant. Keywords: Mi’raj, Timurid, Central Asia, shamanism, Siberia, Amanita muscaria CULTURAL CONTEXT Bur¯aq depicted as Amanita muscaria in the mi’raj manscript The mi’raj manuscript In the Muslim tradition, the mi’raj was preceded by the isra or “Night Journey” during which Mohammed traveled An illustrated manuscript depicting, in a series of miniatures, overnight from Mecca to Jerusalem by means of a fabulous thesuccessivestagesofthemi’raj, the miraculous ascent of beast called Bur¯aq.

  • Dreams and Nightmares of Latin American Ascomycete Taxonomists
    DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES OF NEOTROPICAL ASCOMYCETE TAXONOMISTS Richard P. Korf Emeritus Professor of Mycology at Cornell University & Emeritus Curator of the Cornell Plant Pathology Herbarium, Ithaca, New York A talk presented at the VII Congress of Latin American Mycology, San José, Costa Rica, July 20, 2011 ABSTRACT Is taxonomic inquiry outdated, or cutting edge? A reassessment is made of the goals, successes, and failures of taxonomists who study the fungi of the Neotropics, with a view toward what we should do in the future if we are to have maximum scientific and societal impact. Ten questions are posed, including: Do we really need names? Who is likely to be funding our future research? Is the collapse of the Ivory Tower of Academia a dream or a nightmare? I have been invited here to present a talk on my views on what taxonomists working on Ascomycetes in the Neotropics should be doing. Why me? Perhaps just because I am one of the oldest ascomycete taxonomists, who just might have some shreds of wisdom to impart. I take the challenge seriously, and somewhat to my surprise I have come to some conclusions that shock me, as well they may shock you. OUR HISTORY Let's take a brief view of the time frame I want to talk about. It's really not that old. Most of us think of Elias Magnus Fries as the "father of mycology," a starting point for fungal names as the sanctioning author for most of the fungi. In 1825 Fries was halfway through his Systema Mycologicum, describing and illustrating fungi on what he could see without the aid of a microscope.

Petersen Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37919-1100 Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—The Morrill Act of 1862 afforded the US states the opportunity to found state colleges with agriculture as part of their mission—the so-called “land-grant colleges.” The Hatch Act of 1887 gave the same opportunity for agricultural experiment stations as functions of the land-grant colleges, and the “third Morrill Act” (the Smith-Lever Act) of 1914 added an extension dimension to the experiment stations. Overall, the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th was a time for growing appreciation for, and growth of institutional education in the natural sciences, especially botany and its specialties, mycology, and phytopathology. This paper outlines a particular genealogy of mycologists and plant pathologists representative of this era. Professor Albert Nelson Prentiss, first of Michigan State then of Cornell, Professor William Russel Dudley of Cornell and Stanford, Professor Mason Blanchard Thomas of Wabash College, and Professor Herbert Hice Whetzel of Cornell Plant Pathology were major players in the scenario. The supporting cast, the students selected, trained, and guided by these men, was legion, a few of whom are briefly traced here. Key words—“New Botany,” European influence, agrarian roots Chapter 1.

Coprinus comatus is a novel cultivated edible fungus, hailed as a new preeminent breed of mushroom. However, C. comatus is difficult to keep fresh at room temperature after harvest due to high respiration, browning, self-dissolve and lack of physical protection. Methods. In order to extend the shelf life of C. comatus and reduce its loss in storage, changes in quality, biochemical content, cell wall metabolism and ultrastructure of C. comatus (C.c77) under 4 ◦C and 90% RH storage regimes were investigated in this study. Results. The results showed that: (1) After 10 days of storage, mushrooms appeared acutely browning, cap opening and flowing black juice, rendering the mushrooms commercially unacceptable. (2) The activity of SOD, CAT, POD gradually increased, peaked at the day 10, up to 31.62 U g−1 FW, 16.51 U g−1 FW, 0.33 U g−1 FW, respectively. High SOD, CAT, POD activity could be beneficial in protecting cells from ROS-induced injuries, alleviating lipid peroxidation and stabilizing membrane integrity. (3) The activities of chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase were significantly increased. Higher degrees of cell wall degradation observed during storage might be due to those enzymes' high activities.

The phylum Basidiomycota, considered to contain the most complex and evolutionarily advanced members of this Kingdom, includes some of the most iconic fungal species such as the gilled mushrooms, puffballs and bracket fungi. Basidiomycetes inhabit a wide range of ecological niches, carrying out vital ecosystem roles, particularly in carbon cycling and as symbiotic partners with a range of other organisms. Specifically in the context of human use, the basidiomycetes are a highly valuable food source and are increasingly medicinally important. In this review, seven main categories, or ‘roles’, for basidiomycetes have been suggested by the authors: as model species, edible species, toxic species, medicinal basidiomycetes, symbionts, decomposers and pathogens, and two species have been chosen as representatives of each category.
