František Kotlaba (20 May 1927 in Vlastiboř – 11 June 2020 in Prague[1][2]) was a Czech botanist and mycologist.[3]

Scientific career

[edit]

After his degree in Natural Sciences and Pedagogy at the Charles University in Prague, Kotlaba received a post at the National Museum in Prague in 1957. From 1962 to 1990 he was a scientific employee of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic at Průhonice.[4] Kotlaba was for a long time in the editorial staff of the journal Mykologické listy and was the author of several books, some of a popular scientific nature.

Honours

[edit]

Kotlabaea which is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae was published by Mirko Svrček in 1969, was named in his honour.[5][6] The mycological journal Česká Mykologie, to which he made numerous contributions, dedicated an edition to him on the occasion of his eightieth birthday in 2007. Also in 2007, a genus of Polypores, Frantisekia was named after him.[7][8][9]

Research

[edit]

Kotlaba's main research areas were taxonomy and geographical distribution and ecology of agarics and boletes. Apart from this he has published several works on mushroom conservation.[10] With Zdenek Pouzar in 1972 he influenced fungal taxonomy by defining the mushroom families Entolomataceae and Pluteaceae for the first time, in Ceská Mykologie.[11][12] These family names are still currently in use.

The standard author abbreviation Kotl. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[13]
