About Paul Christoph Hennings

  • He discovered the study of cryptogams and mushrooms as a volunteer at the botanical garden.
  • Although circumstances initially prevented him to study in that area, he later returned to natural sciences and eventually rose to a position at the largest herbarium in Germany.
  • Originally interested in all non-higher plants, he specialised into mushrooms and became particularly versed in tropical species sent from abroad.
