Friedrich Heinrich Wiggers

German botanist and mycologist (1746–1811).

Friedrich Heinrich Wiggers (15 March 1746 – 3 March 1811) was a German botanist who wrote a flora of Holstein in 1780. A number of variants of his name exist, including "Fridrich Hindrich" and the Latinisation "Fredericus Henricus" and the alternative surname "Wichers". Wiggers enrolled at the University of Kiel in 1774, and published his dissertation, "Primitiae Florae Holsaticae", in 1780. He received his doctorate four years later in 1784, becoming a doctor of medicine. He settled down in Apenrade in Schleswig, where he married in 1785 and became the father of four children.

Tuber (Truffles) P. Micheli ex F.H. Wigg. 1780
fungi genus in the tuberaceae family
Tuber is a genus in the fungal family Tuberaceae, with estimated molecular dating to the end of the Jurassic period (156 Mya). It includes several species of truffles that are highly valued as delicacies.
Fuligo septica (Dog Vomit Slime Mold) (L.) F.H. Wigg. 1780
fungi species
Fuligo septica is a species of slime mold in the class Myxomycetes. It is commonly known as scrambled egg slime or flowers of tan because of its peculiar yellowish appearance; it is also known as dog vomit slime mold. This slime mold is relatively common with a worldwide distribution, often being found on bark, mulch, lawns, as well as other rotting organic matter in urban areas after heavy rain or excessive watering. Their spores are produced on or in aerial sporangia and are spread by wind.
Usnea florida (Witches' Whiskers Lichen) (L.) F.H. Wigg. 1780
fungi species in the parmeliaceae family
Usnea florida is a species of beard lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. First described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 and later reclassified by Friedrich Heinrich Wiggers in 1780, it is a shrubby, upright lichen growing 2–10 cm tall with slender, curved branches covered in papillae and fibrils, and distinctive disc-shaped reproductive structures (apothecia) surrounded by branching filaments. Its development progresses through eleven distinct states across four main periods, beginning with the union of fungal spores and compatible algae to form a protothallus, followed by branching processes that
Cladonia uncialis (Thorn Lichen) (L.) F.H. Wigg. 1780
fungi species in the cladoniaceae family
Cladonia uncialis is a species of fruticose, cup lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. It was first described as a new species by Swedish taxonomist Carl Linnaeus in 1753. It was transferred to the genus Cladonia by Friedrich Heinrich Wiggers in 1780. In North America, the lichen is colloquially known as the thorn Cladonia or the thorn cup lichen. Cladonia uncialis is host to the lichenicolous fungus species Lichenopeltella uncialicola, which is named after C. uncialis.
Usnea hirta (Bristly Beard Lichen) (L.) F.H. Wigg. 1780
fungi species in the parmeliaceae family
Usnea hirta is a species of beard lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It was one of 80 lichen species first formally described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 work Species Plantarum. Friedrich Heinrich Wiggers transferred it to the genus Usnea in 1780. The lichen is sensitive to air pollution, and is often used as a biomonitor of sulphur dioxide. Usnea hirta has an extensive worldwide distribution, and it is morphologically variable, which has led to numerous intraspecific taxa (i.e. subspecies, varieties, and forms) being proposed in its taxonomic history.
Cladonia subulata (Antlered Powderhorn) (L.) F.H. Wigg. 1780
fungi species in the cladoniaceae family
Cladonia subulata is a species of fruticose, cup lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. It was first described as a new species by the Swedish taxonomist Carl Linnaeus in 1753. It was transferred to the genus Cladonia by Friedrich Heinrich Wiggers in 1780. In North America, the lichen is colloquially known as the antlered powderhorn or antlered cup lichen. In Nepal, Cladonia subulata has been reported from 2,200 to 2,700 m elevation in a compilation of published records.
Mucilago crustacea (Dog Sick Slime Mould) P. Micheli ex F.H. Wigg. 1780
fungi species in the didymiaceae family
Didymium spongiosum, also known as dog sick slime mold, is a species of true slime mold in the order Physarales. Before reclassification in 2023 it was known as Mucilago crustacea. Due to its visual resemblance to canine vomit, it is known colloquially as the "dog sick slime mould" or "dog sick fungus", albeit that slime moulds are not true fungi. The fruiting body is yellow to white, becoming paler with time, and then blackening. It usually occurs on damp grass. The species was described by P. Micheli ex F.H. Wigg.
Arcyria Hill ex F.H. Wigg. 1780

Arcyria is a genus of Amoebozoa in the family Arcyriaceae. It includes the species Arcyria ferruginea .

Humaria hemisphaerica (Glazed Cup) (F.H. Wigg.) Fuckel 1870
fungi species in the pyronemataceae family
Humaria hemisphaerica is a species of fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. In the UK it has the recommended English name of glazed cup; in North America it has been called the hairy fairy cup or the brown-haired fairy cup. Ascocarps (fruit bodies) are cup-shaped and can be recognized by their smooth, white inner surface and hairy, brown outer surface. The species occurs in Europe and North America.
Pilobolus crystallinus (Dung Cannon) (F.H. Wigg.) Tode 1784
fungi species in the pilobolaceae family
Pilobolus crystallinus, commonly known as the "dung cannon" or "hat thrower", is a species of fungus belonging to the Mucorales order. It is unique in that it adheres its spores to vegetation, so as to be eaten by grazing animals. It then passes through the animals' digestive systems and grows in their feces. Although these fungi only grow to be 2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 in) tall, they can shoot their sporangium, containing their spores, up to 2 m (6.6 ft) away. Due to an increase of pressure in the vesicle, the sporangium can accelerate 0–45 mph in the first millimeter of its flight, which corresponds
Eurotium herbariorum (F.H. Wigg.) Link ex Nees 1816
fungi species in the aspergillaceae family
Aspergillus glaucus is a filamentous fungus which is known to have a wide environmental distribution due to its physiological hardiness under extreme conditions. Like many other fungi belonging to the genus Aspergillus, it can be mildly pathogenic but has a number of useful potential applications in medicine and the production of foodstuffs.
