Marcel Bon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcel Bon is one of France’s best known field mycologists. He was born in Picardy, in 1925 and came to mycology through general botany, and pharmacology.[1] He lives(d) at Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, a quaint little town on the mouth of the river Somme, in Picardy, Northern France, which was a former artists' and writers' retreat, and is now a popular tourist town.

In 1987, along with two artists (John Wilkinson, and Denys Ovenden) he produced the comprehensive field guide for mycologists, The Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain and North-western Europe. His other skills are as a pianist, an artist, and a skier.

The standard author abbreviation Bon is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.[2]
