Jean Louis Lucand

Jean Louis Lucand (11 November 1821, Beauvilliers, Yonne – 19 November 1896) was a French mycologist and mycological artist.

A career soldier, he served in the French military from 1842 to 1873. In 1866 he was named captain and a chevalier in the Legion of Honor. Following retirement from the army, he moved to the community of Autun, where he focused his energies on mycology.[1]

He was a founding member of the Société mycologique de France,[1] and also a member of the Société d'histoire naturelle du Creusot and the Société d'histoire naturelle et des amis du muséum d'Autun.[2] The species Rosa lucandiana was named in his honor by François-Xavier Gillot and Pierre Alfred Déséglise.[1][3]

gollark: I like how the Alpine Linux https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_laptop page seems to be 75% ridiculously paranoid deniable encryption setup (dubiously useful, as nobody actually has disks full of random noise for no reason), with some short paragraphs on laptop things like actually having battery life.
