Wikipedia description:

Friedrich Otto Wünsche (1839–1905) was a German mycologist. A teacher by profession, he authored influential field guides including the widely used Die Pflanzen Deutschlands ("The plants of Germany") and produced some of the first accessible handbooks on German fungi and cryptogams. Despite lacking formal university training, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Leipzig in 1871 and was later awarded the title of Professor in recognition of his contributions to botanical education and regional flora studies.
