Hello forum,Boudier dedicated his Galactinia michelii to certain Mr. Michel, with whom he collected it repeatedly. I would like to know something about the dédiée, was he mycologist or amateur naturalist or ...? So far I didn't find anything due to lack of the dates of his life, to my nonexistent knowledge of french and also because this surname is obviously one of the more common ones. Would anyone have any informations about him?Â
Thank you.
Viktorie

Re : Who was Mr. Michel?
Hello Tori,
Klán writes following about P.A. Micheli: Micheli venoval houbám zvláštnà pozornost jako celku vedle mechu, rostlin a liÅ¡ejnÃku. Zavedl rodová jména Aspergillus, Botrytis a Mucor. Z makromycetu pojmenoval Clathrus, Geaster a Polyporus. VÅ¡echny tyto rodové názvy se dosud použÃvajÃ. Micheliho výzkumy provázela touha objevit v houbách kvety a semena. Kvety nenaÅ¡el :-), ale ve vÅ¡ech druzÃch hub, s kterými pracoval, nalezl "semena", tedy výtrusy. Radou opakovaných experimentu prokázal, jak houby vznikajà a rostou. Pro tyto pokusy použil výtrusy žampionu (nebo bedly?), mikromycetu Botrytis, Aspergillus a Mucor. Výtrusy umÃstil na odumrelé listy stromu vedle cerstvých kousku melounu, kdoule a hruÅ¡ky. Pokusy s mikroskopickými houbami byly úspeÅ¡né a ze spor vyrostly stejné druhy jako puvodnÃ. Stopkovýtrusá houba rostla pomaleji, ale presto se po nekolika mesÃcÃch objevila plodnice. Micheli též pozoroval, že se výtrusy tvorà po ctyrech na bazÃdii, soucasne popsal i vrecka se dvema, tremi a ctyrmi bradavcitými sporami u lanýže, popsal i zpusob vyprazdnovánà vrecek, videl i cystidy na lupenech hnojnÃku.

Re : Who was Mr. Michel?
Hello François,Â
I thought so as well (and its czech name is also often being derived from P.A.Micheli), but Boudier wrote in Icones: "Cette espèce parait rare, je l'ai trouvée, étant en compagnie de notre regrettée collègue, M. Michel, auquel je l'ai dediée, dans le forêt de Saint-Germain..." which I with google's help understood as "I found this apparently rare species in the company of our late collegue Mr. Michel, to whom I dedicate it, in the Saint-Germain forest...". Even if there is a typografic error (Michel instead of Micheli), if Boudier really means they collected it together then it can't be P.A.Micheli, since he died 90 years before Boudier was born. But perhaps my translation is wrong?

Re : Who was Mr. Michel?
Dear Viktorie
it is (Philéas-)Auguste Michel of Carrières-sous-Bois, which is at the south-eastern border of the Saint-Germain forest. He was member of the Société Mycologique de France (see members directory in vol. 21, 1905 of the bulletin and earlier) and conducted forays in the Saint-Germain forest for the society. He was member of other societies as well from botany to astronomy.
In the members list of 1906 he does not show up anymore.
Regards
Martin
