Abstract

For young physicians used to having electricity and born in the internet era it is hard to imagine how research was done in the Early Nineteen Century. Bright people like Christiaan Hendrik Persoon stand out because of his large contributions to Mycology. He published several books; one of the most important is Synopsis Methodica Fungorum, written in Latin. This book is considered the “foundation of systemic mycology”. This book is the first one to adopt the Linnean method in mycology [1,2].
