Otto Kuntze

German botanist (1843–1907).

Carl Ernst Otto Kuntze (23 June 1843 – 27 January 1907) was a German businessman and botanist. He went on a round-the-world plant collecting trip from 1874 to 1876 making extensive collections from South America and Asia. His major contribution was a three volume revision of plant genera Revisio Generum Plantarum (1891). This revision troubled many botanists because of the changes he suggested to nearly 30000 taxa, many which were contrary to the rules established by the botanical congress of 1867. This however forced botanists to make reforms to the botanical code.

Lactifluus volemus (Fishy Milkcap) (Fr.) Kuntze 1891
edible fungi species in the russulaceae family
Lactifluus volemus, formerly known as Lactarius volemus, and commonly known as the weeping milk cap or bradley, is a species of fungus in the family Russulaceae. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that L. volemus represents several species or subspecies, rather than a single taxon. The colour of the mushroom varies from apricot to tawny, and the cap may be up to 11 cm (4+1⁄2 in) wide. The pale golden yellow gills on the underside of the cap are closely spaced and sometimes forked. One of the mushroom's most distinctive features is the large amount of latex it exudes when the gills are damaged,
Suillus collinitus (Weeping Bolete) (Fr.) Kuntze 1898
edible fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus collinitus is a pored mushroom of the genus Suillus in the family Suillaceae. It is an edible mushroom found in European pine forests. The mushroom has a reddish to chestnut-brown cap that reaches up to 11 cm (4.3 in) in diameter, and a yellow stem measuring up to 7 cm (2.8 in) tall by 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 in) thick. On the underside of the cap are small angular pores, initially bright yellow before turning greenish-brown with age. A characteristic feature that helps to distinguish it from similar Suillus species, such as S. granulatus, is the pinkish mycelia at the base of the stem.
Terana caerulea (Cobalt Crust) (Lam.) Kuntze 1891
fungi species in the phanerochaetaceae family
Terana caerulea (or Terana coerulea), commonly known as the cobalt crust fungus or velvet blue spread, is a saprobic crust fungus in the family Phanerochaetaceae. Usually found in warm, damp hardwood forests on the undersides of fallen logs and branches of deciduous trees, this unique fungus has been described as "blue velvet on a stick".
Suillus spraguei (Painted Suillus) (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Kuntze 1898
fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus spraguei is a species of fungus in the family Suillaceae. It is known by a variety of common names, including the painted slipperycap, the painted suillus or the red and yellow suillus. Suillus spraguei has had a complex taxonomical history and is also frequently referred to as Suillus pictus. The readily identifiable fruit bodies have caps that are dark red when fresh, dry to the touch, and covered with mats of hairs and scales that are separated by yellow cracks. On the underside of the cap are small, yellow, angular pores that become brownish as the mushroom ages. The stalk bears a
Suillus plorans (Rolland) Kuntze 1898
edible fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus plorans is an edible species of mushroom in the genus Suillus. The species was originally named Boletus plorans by Léon Louis Rolland before transferred to Suillus by Otto Kuntze in 1898. Although known as a predominantly European fungus, the species was recorded in Mexico in 1982.
Suillus bellinii (Weeping Bolete) (Inzenga) Kuntze 1898
edible fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus bellinii, the Champagne bolete, is a pored mushroom of the genus Suillus in the family Suillaceae. It is found in coastal pine forests of southern Europe.
Biscogniauxia nummularia (Beech Tarcrust) (Bull.) Kuntze 1891
fungi species in the graphostromataceae family
Biscogniauxia nummularia is a plant pathogen in the family Graphostromataceae, known as the beech tarcrust. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin "nummus" meaning a coin, referring to the often rounded and coin-like encrustations.
Suillus brevipes (Short-stalked Suillus) (Peck) Kuntze 1898
edible fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus brevipes is a species of fungus in the family Suillaceae. First described by American mycologists in the late 19th century, it is commonly known as the stubby-stalk or the short-stemmed slippery Jack. The fruit bodies (mushrooms) produced by the fungus are characterized by a chocolate to reddish-brown cap covered with a sticky layer of slime, and a short whitish stipe that has neither a partial veil nor prominent, colored glandular dots. The cap can reach a diameter of about 10 cm (4 in), while the stipe is up to 6 cm (2+3⁄8 in) long and 2 cm (3⁄4 in) thick. Like other bolete
Henningsomyces (Tubelets) Kuntze 1898
fungi genus in the marasmiaceae family
Henningsomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. Based on the small, tubular structure of its sporulating body it is called a cyphelloid fungi. The genus name of Henningsomyces is in honour of Paul Christoph Hennings (1841–1908), who was a German mycologist and herbarium curator. The genus was circumscribed by Carl Ernst Otto Kuntze in Revis. Gen. Pl. vol.3 (issue 3) on page 483 in 1898.
Biscogniauxia Kuntze 1891
fungi genus in the graphostromataceae family
Biscogniauxia is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae. Subtaxa include Biscogniauxia capnodes var. capnodes, Biscogniauxia marginata and Biscogniauxia nummularia, which are plant pathogens. The genus was circumscribed by Otto Kuntze in Revis. Gen. Pl. 2 on page 398 in 1891. The genus name of Biscogniauxia is in honour of Célestin Alfred Cogniaux (1841 – 1916), a Belgian botanist.

Scutellinia setosa (Yellow Eyelash Cup) (Nees) Kuntze 1891
fungi species in the pyronemataceae family
Scutellinia setosa is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. Its fruit bodies are disc-shaped with thick black "hairs" (setae) around the cup rim. The smooth, ellipsoid, spores measure 11–13 by 20–22 μm and contain numerous oil droplets. The asci (spore-bearing cells) are roughly cylindrical, measuring 300–325 μm by 12–15 μm. Originally described from Europe, it is also found in North America and Central America, where it grows on the rotting wood of deciduous trees.
Cookeina Kuntze 1891
fungi genus in the sarcoscyphaceae family
Cookeina is a genus of cup fungi in the family Sarcoscyphaceae, members of which may be found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Species may be found on fallen branches of angiosperms, trunks, and sometimes on fruits. The Temuans of Peninsular Malaysia are reported to use certain species from this genus as food, and also as a bait for fishing, where it is rubbed against the hook.

The species resembles the abundant Scutellinia umbrorum and can only be reliably identified by microscopic features. Found in Europe, S. olivascens forms clusters of orange discs up to 1.5 cm in diameter on soil or rotting wood in summer and autumn.
