FOREIGNERS WHO HAVE TAKEN PART IN THE 

 MYCOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF DENMARK. 



On account of its small extension and its want of mountains the 

 Kingdom of Denmark has been no great attraction to foreign mycolo* 

 gists. The northern parts of our country Greenland and Iceland have 

 been more frequently visited than the mainland. It is also true that 

 Danish mycologists as Rostrup (83 b, 84 b & f, 91 1, 04 f, 05 a) E. War* 

 MING (R. 86 m) and myself (Lind 05, 07 a 6^ 08 a) have assisted the 

 Norwegians and the Swedes more in the knowledge of the fungi of 

 their own country than those nations have assisted the Danes. 



The part of Denmark which most frequently has been visited by 

 foreign mycologists is the Island of Bornholm. Dr. F. W. Neger of 

 Tharand stayed a forthnight in Bornholm in the summer 1906 and 

 found several fungi which he published in the "Botanisk Tidsskrift" 

 (Neger 06). Professor Dr. G. Lindau of Berlin visited the island for 

 a few days (Lindau 1897) and some Swedish foresters visited it in 

 summer 1904 (Schotte 08). 



The famous English mycologist Charles Plowright visited Ro* 

 STRUP in Copenhagen Septbr. 26. 1888 and they made together an 

 excursion to Ruderhegn (see Plowright 1888). 



Professor Dr. P. Hennings of Berhn has paid a few visits to Copen:= 

 hagen. 



Of Swedish mycologists may be mentioned the lecturer Ernst Hens
