Elizabeth Eaton Morse

Elizabeth Eaton Morse (31 December 1864 – 13 November 1955) was an American mycologist.

Shortly after, she registered as a part-time graduate student in the Department of Botany at the University of California, and was given storage and work space to pursue her interests in cryptogamic botany.

[1] Although she did not work towards an advanced degree, Morse maintained this space for her studies for more than twenty years.

Although primarily interested in macroscopic fungi, she also collected some flowering plants, slime molds, lichens, and mosses.

[2] Fungal taxa named by Morse include Albatrellus flettii, Calbovista, Cantharellus bonarii, Cantharellus wilkinsiae, and Tricholoma sclerotoideum.
