| The brothers Tulasne worked in Paris. While Louis Rene Tulasne sorted out the systematics and biology of a number of species of rusts, smuths, truffles and pyrenomycetes, his brother Charles made the elaborate illustrations published in their "Selecta fungorum carpologia" (vol. 1-3, 1861-1865). They were among the first to suggest the pleomorphism of fungi, i.e. that the same species can have both an anamorphic and a teleomorphic stage. |
