Károly Kalchbrenner

Károly Kalchbrenner, born 5th may 1807 in Pöttelsdorf, died 5th June 1886 in Spišské Vlachy, was a Hungarian mycologist. He trained in theology early in life and became a priest in Spišské Vlachy in Northeastern Slovakia. His contributions include the publishing of 60 papers and description of more than 400 fungi from Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. He wrote and illustrated the "Icones Selectae Hymenomycetum Hungariae". Among those he later collaborated with are Ferdinand von Mueller in Victoria in Australia, John Medley Wood in South Africa, Mordecai Cubitt Cooke in England and Felix von Thümen in Austria. He was elected a full member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and a corresponding member of the Linnean Society of New South Wales.

The genus "Kalchbrenneriella" was named in his honour. [Paul Diederich (Autumn 2002) Kalchbrenneriella, a New Genus to Accommodate the Lichenicolous Hyphomycete Torula cyanescens "The Bryologist", 105 (3) pp. 411-14]
