Friedrich Otto Wünsche

German botanist (1839-1905).

Friedrich Otto Wünsche (1839–1905) was a German mycologist. A teacher by profession, he authored influential field guides including the widely used Die Pflanzen Deutschlands ("The plants of Germany") and produced some of the first accessible handbooks on German fungi and cryptogams. Despite lacking formal university training, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Leipzig in 1871 and was later awarded the title of Professor in recognition of his contributions to botanical education and regional flora studies.

Hygrocybe chlorophana (Golden Waxcap) (Fr.) Wünsche 1877

Hygrocybe chlorophana is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. It has been given the recommended English name of golden waxcap in the UK. The species has a largely north temperate distribution, occurring in grassland in Europe and in woodland in North America and northern Asia; it has also been reported from mountainous areas of southern Australia. It typically produces basidiocarps (fruit bodies) in the autumn. In a few European countries, H. chlorophana is of conservation concern, appearing on national red lists of threatened fungi.
