Stephan Schulzer from Müggenburg
Stephan (Joseph) Schulzer von Müggenburg , also Stefan , Stjepan or István , as well as Mu (e) ggenburg , Müggenburgi , Müggenburški or Šulcer-Migenburg , (* 1802 in Viduševac near Glina , Croatia ; † 1892 Vinkovci in Croatia) was of German descent , Croatian, k. k and k. u. k Austrian army officer and mycologist . Its official botanical author's abbreviation is " Schulzer ".
Schulzer came from a family of officers and embarked on a military career early on and attended the k. k. Cadet Institute in Olomouc . He rose to the rank of captain in 1839, but had to retire early in 1841 because he was injured and paralyzed while extinguishing fire. He managed to cure himself with water cures, which the Austrian army took as an opportunity to reactivate him after 1848 and to give him the management of military schools, most recently in Kamenitz (military education center). In 1858 he retired again.
He has been involved with mycology since the early 1830s. He was a specialist in mushrooms from Hungary, Transylvania , Slovakia and Slovenia and published about it. He also wrote an overview of the mushrooms of Hungary and Slavonia with around 1,800 species and colored illustrations that he himself made. This treatise was acquired by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1869 and given to the mycologist Karl Kalchbrenner for revision, who supplemented it with mushrooms from the Carpathian Mountains and published some of it.
He was in contact with important European mycologists (such as Lucien Quélet and the Croatian scientists Spiridion Brusina and Ljudevit Farkas Vukotinovic ). A number of first descriptions of mushrooms come from him and some mushrooms are named in his honor.
