Louis René Étienne also Edmond Tulasne (born September 12, 1815 in Azay-le-Rideau , France , † December 22, 1885 in Hyères ) was a French botanist and mycologist . Its official botanical author's abbreviation is “ Tul. "

Live and act

Tulasne first studied law and then became a lawyer. In addition to his job, he dealt with botanical studies. In 1842 he became an assistant ( aide-naturalist ) at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris , where he dealt with flowering plants and with cryptogams. In 1854 Tulasne became a member of the Académie des Sciences in Paris. From 1854 he was a corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in 1857 he became a member of the Leopoldina . In 1869 he was accepted as a corresponding member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences .

His first work related to the systematics of the phanerogams ( legumes , Podostemaceen , Monimiaceae ). Then he published works on the history of the development of mushrooms with his brother Charles Tulasne. In doing so, Tulasne made a significant contribution to the knowledge of the smaller parasitic fungi, especially rust and smut fungi and their development cycles . Other taxa that were processed by Tulasne were ergot and other sac fungi , then called pyrenomycetes (forms with perithecium ) and diskomycetes (with apothecium ).

Among others, the following mushroom taxa have been described by Tulasne:

His brother Charles Tulasne (1816–1884) mainly contributed the illustrations for the books.
