Joseph-Henri Léveillé

French botanist (1796-1870).

Joseph-Henri Léveillé (28 May 1796 – 3 February 1870) was a French physician and mycologist who was a native of Crux-la-Ville, in the department of Nièvre. Léveillé studied medicine and mycology at the University of Paris, and in 1824 received his medical doctorate. In his 1837 paper Sur le hymenium des champignons, he provided an early, comprehensive description of the basidium and cystidium of basidiomycete fungi, and was able to establish the role that the basidium played in spore production. Also, he made important findings in regard to the true nature of individual members of the so-calle

Clavaria zollingeri (Violet Coral) Lév. 1846
vulnerable and edible fungi species in the clavariaceae family
Clavaria zollingeri, commonly known as the violet coral or the magenta coral, is a widely distributed species of fungus. It produces striking tubular, purple to pinkish-violet fruit bodies that grow up to 10 cm (4 in) tall and 7 cm (2+3⁄4 in) wide. The extreme tips of the fragile, slender branches are usually rounded and brownish. Variations in branching and color can often be used to distinguish C. zollingeri from similarly colored coral fungi such as Alloclavaria purpurea and Clavulina amethystina, although microscopy is required to reliably identify the latter species. A typical member of

Peziza ammophila (Dune Cup) Durieu & Lév. 1848
fungi species in the pezizaceae family
Peziza ammophila is a fungus in the cup fungus genus Peziza. It grows on sand dunes and beaches. As it gets older, it comes out from the sand and splits. It grows in winter and spring, and there are records from North America, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, the UK, Europe, Australia and South Africa. It is cup shaped. The Dutch call these Zandtulpjes, or "sand tulips."
Hymenochaete Lév. 1846
fungi genus in the hymenochaetaceae family
Hymenochaete is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions. The name probably means long-haired membrane from the Greek hymen meaning membrane and chaite meaning long hair. On the basis of sequence data, in 2002 the genus Pseudochaete was constructed for Hymenochaete tabacina, as it was found to be more closely related to the poroid Hymenochaetales Onnia and Porodaedalea. Pseudochaete is however considered illegitimate since it is preoccupied by an algal genus.
