description: "Paul Kummer was a minister, teacher, and scientist in Zerbst, Germany, known chiefly for his contribution to mycological nomenclature. Earlier classification of agarics by pioneering fungal taxonomist Elias Magnus Fries designated only a very small number of genera, with most species falling into Agaricus. These few genera were divided into many tribus. In his 1871 work, Der Führer in die Pilzkunde, Kummer raised the majority of Fries \"tribus\" to the status of genus, thereby establishing many of the generic names for agarics that are in use to this day. In 1874 he issued the work Der Führer in die Flechtenkunde with numbered lichen specimens arranged in two plates like an exsiccata."
