Helga Große-Brauckmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helga Große-Brauckmann , born Oetker (* 9. August 1925 in Bremen ; † 24. January 2007 ) was a German biologist and specialist on the fungal group of Corticiaceen . Your official botanical author abbreviation is “ Grosse-Brauckm. ".

Life

Helga Oetker, daughter of a shipping company employee, grew up in Bremen. From 1946 she studied at the University of Göttingen , where she received her doctorate in 1953 with a dissertation on the topic: " Investigation of the nutrition of some myxobacteria " with Richard Harder .

In 1953 she married the biologist Gisbert Große-Brauckmann , who worked as a scientist in Gießen, Bremen and Darmstadt in the following years. Due to her general interest in mushrooms, she deepened her mycological knowledge, encouraged by Hermann Jahn , on the group of crusty mushrooms , the Corticiaceen, and thus got in touch with John Eriksson , one of the few specialists at the time for this difficult to determine group of fungi, who knew them at the time were almost exclusively in Scandinavia.

As a result, Helga Große-Brauckmann made numerous trips to Sweden, where, in addition to John Eriksson, she also met Karl-Hendrik Larsson , Kurt Hjortstam and Leif Ryvarden . These researchers were primarily involved in the publication of the hitherto only modern flora for this group, which came out with the title " The Corticiaceae of North Europe " and is still of great importance today.

Helga Große-Brauckmann was instrumental in research into these mushrooms in Germany and the neighboring countries, and in doing so she described a number of species anew or made numerous new discoveries in Germany.

In 2006 she handed over her collection (approx. 6000 specimens of 1370 taxa) to the Botanical State Collection in Munich.

In addition to the systematic work, Helga Große-Brauckmann also researched the ecological demands of these species, which are of great importance for the natural balance. She has made numerous recordings of Corticiccees in natural forest reserves and published them about them. Thanks to her collaboration on the creation of the Red List of Endangered Large Mushrooms in Germany, a statement about the rarity, peculiarity and threat of species of this group could be made for the first time. She also worked on the Red List of Mushrooms in Hesse.

Kurt Hjortstam and Leif Ryvarden named a newly described species in 1986 in honor of Helga Große-Brauckmann Odonticium helgae .
