Josef Velenovský
Josef Velenovský (22 April 1858 – 7 May 1949) was a Czech botanist, mycologist, pteridologist, and bryologist. He also worked with fossils. He was a research investigator and professor in the Botanical Institute of the University of Prague, alternating with his colleague Ladislav Josef Čelakovský. He was also professor of botany at Charles University, where he concentrated in the study of mycology in final half of his life. Velenovský collected innumerable material, particularly in new central Bohemia, and described at least 2000 species of fungi.[1] Many of his type specimens and other collections are located in the herbarium of the Národní Museum of Prague.[2]

gollark: We should teach abstract algebra instead of trigonometry, for purposes.
gollark: For learning later programming.
gollark: The issue with basic programming instruction is that while you can do moderately useful things with basic maths like trigonometry and whatever, you can't do anything practical with Scratch and the teaching value is vaguely dubious.
gollark: Maths is vaguely beeoidally taught anyway.
