Andrew Price Morgan

Andrew Price Morgan was an American botanist and mycologist. He investigated the flora of the Miami Valley in Ohio. While his interest included flowering plants, as noted by his Flora of the Miami Valley, Ohio, his special interest was in fungi. Morgan worked as a teacher in Dayton. He studied the botany of the Great Miami River, publishing in 1878 the Flora of the Miami River, Ohio; Morgan also showed particular interest in mycology and bryology. A.P. Morgan was a mentor to the prominent American mycologist Curtis Gates Lloyd. His correspondence with Lloyd is stored in the Lloyd Library and Museum in Cincinnati. Lloyd's portion of the correspondence is stored in the Ada Hayden Herbarium at Iowa state university. Morgan's collections of preserved fungi can also be found at the Ada Hayden Herbarium along with Laura Morgan's gouache illustrations of fungi that could not be preserved.
