Gustav Kunze

German botanist (1793–1851).

Gustav Kunze (4 October 1793 in Leipzig – 30 April 1851 in Leipzig) was a German professor of zoology, an entomologist and botanist with an interest mainly in ferns and orchids. He was editor of some exsiccata series, one issued together with Johann Carl Schmidt under the title Deutschlands Schwämme in getrockneten Exemplaren (1816-1819). Kunze joined the Wernerian Natural History Society in Edinburgh in 1817. He later became Zoology Professor at Leipzig University and in 1837 was appointed director of the Botanical Gardens in Leipzig. Kunze supported the botanical voyages (1823-1828) of Edua

Chaetomium Kunze 1817
fungi genus in the chaetomiaceae family
Chaetomium is a genus of fungi in the Chaetomiaceae family. It is a dematiaceous (dark-walled) mold normally found in soil, air, cellulose and plant debris. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), there are about 95 species in the widespread genus. In 1817 Gustav Kunze established the genus Chaetomium (the plume of the helmet) to classify the species C. globosum and C. elatum. No further contributions to the genus were made until 1837 when the publication of Corda described its characteristic asci in his work, Icones Fungorum Hucusque Cognitorum. In 1915, Arthur Houston
Chaetomium globosum Kunze 1817
fungi species in the chaetomiaceae family
Chaetomium globosum is a well-known mesophilic member of the mold family Chaetomiaceae. It is a saprophytic fungus that primarily resides on plants, soil, straw, and dung. Endophytic C. globosum assists in cellulose decomposition of plant cells. They are found in habitats ranging from forest plants to mountain soils across various biomes. C. globosum colonies can also be found indoors and on wooden products. Chaetomium globosum are human allergens and opportunistic agents of ungual mycosis and neurological infections. However such illnesses occur at low rates.
Secotium Kunze 1840
fungi genus in the agaricaceae family
Secotium is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The members of this genus are closely related to ordinary Agaricus mushrooms, but do not open out in the usual way; this has given rise to the term "secotioid" for such mushrooms in general. They are thought to form an evolutionary link between agarics and gasteroid fungi (whose spores are enclosed in a pouch-like structure). Secotium is a widespread genus, with species that are predominantly found in warm and arid regions.
Podosphaera Kunze 1823
fungi genus in the erysiphaceae family
Podosphaera is a genus of obligate biotrophic fungi in the family Erysiphaceae (powdery mildews). It can be found on all continents except Antarctica, infecting a large number of different genera.

Phycomyces Kunze 1823
fungi genus in the phycomycetaceae family
Phycomyces is a genus of fungus in the phylum Mucoromycota. They are known for their strong phototropism response and helical growth of the sporangium. The best studied species is Phycomyces blakesleeanus.

Peridermium (Link) J.C. Schmidt & Kunze 1817
fungi genus in the cronartiaceae family
Peridermium is a genus of rust fungi in the family Cronartiaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Johann Carl Schmidt and Gustav Kunze in 1817. Species include Peridermium californicum.
Myxotrichum chartarum Kunze 1823
fungi species in the myxotrichaceae family
Myxotrichum chartarum is a psychrophilic and cellulolytic fungus first discovered in Germany by Gustav Kunze in 1823. Its classification has changed many times over its history to better reflect the information available at the time. Currently, M. chartarum is known to be an ascomycete surrounded by a gymnothecium composed of ornate spines and releases asexual ascospores. The presence of cellulolytic processes are common in fungi within the family Myxotrichaceae. M. chartarum is one of many Myxotrichum species known to degrade paper and paper products.

Chaetomium elatum Kunze 1818
fungi species in the chaetomiaceae family
Chaetomium elatum is a very common and widely distributed saprotrophic fungus of the Chaetomiaceae family of molds which has been found to grow on many different substances all over the world. It was first established by Gustav Kunze after he observed it growing on dead leaves. Its defining features that distinguish it from other Chaetomium species are its extremely coarse terminal hairs and the lemon-shaped morphology of its ascospores. It produces many metabolites with potential biotechnology uses including one with promise against the rice blast disease fungus, Magnaporthe grisea. It shows

Arthrinium Kunze 1817
fungi genus in the apiosporaceae family
Arthrinium is a genus of minute disease-causing fungi which belong to the family Apiosporaceae and which are parasitic on flowering plants such as sedges. These fungi have an anamorphic life cycle stage where spores are produced asexually in structures called conidia and a teleomorphic stage where sexual spores are produced in asci. Historically the name Arthrinum represented the anamorph form and a different genus name was used for the teleomorph form; however after a decision in 2011 one name or the other has to be selected as the current name for all cases.

Alysidium Kunze 1817
fungi genus in the botryobasidiaceae family
Botryobasidium is a genus of corticioid fungi belonging to the order Cantharellales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are ephemeral and typically form thin, web-like, white to cream, effused patches on the underside of fallen branches, logs, and leaf litter. Several species form anamorphs producing chlamydospores. All species are wood- or litter-rotting saprotrophs and the genus has a worldwide distribution.
