The Myxomycetes of the Miami Valley, Ohio
by A. P. (Andrew Price) Morgan
About the author
Andrew Price Morgan was an American botanist and mycologist associated with Ohio, especially the Miami Valley. Although he also wrote about flowering plants, he became especially known for his studies of fungi and other overlooked parts of local natural history.
Much of his career was spent in education, and his scientific work grew alongside that life rather than apart from it. That combination gives his writing a grounded, patient quality: he focused closely on the plants and fungal life around him and turned regional observation into lasting reference works.
Books and papers published under A. P. Morgan include studies of the flora and mycologic life of the Miami Valley, showing the range of his interests and the steady detail of his research. A suitable confirmed portrait image could not be verified from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included.
