František Smotlacha
František Smotlacha (born 30 January 1884 in Hradec Králové - died 18 June 1956 in Prague) was a Czech mycologist.[1] He founded the Czechoslovak Mycological Society in 1921 together with Rudolf Veselý[2] and the leading journal of Czech mycology: Mykologický sborník - Časopis Českých Houbařů (known as the C.C.H. among mycologists) in 1919. He was also president of the Czechoslovak Jiujitsu Union and founder of collegiate sport in Czechoslovakia.[3] His son, Miroslav Smotlacha, also became a mycologist.
Smotlacha described many species of fungi including
- Boletus rhodopurpureus
- Morchella pragensis
- Boletus fuscoroseus
He also wrote many books about fungi, both scientific and popular: his greatest success was Atlas hub jedlých a nejedlých; mycologia practica (14 editions 1947-1952) that described 78 "edible and non edible" mushrooms (with color photos).[4][5]
