Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard

Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ batist fʁɑ̃swa pjɛʁ byljaʁ]; 24 November 1752 in Aubepierre-sur-Aube Haute-Marne – 26 September 1793 in Paris),[1] also known simply as Pierre Bulliard, was a French physician and botanist.

He invented a way of printing natural history plates in colour and used the method in his own publications.

[3] Bulliard's Dictionnaire Elémentaire de Botanique (1783) contributed to the spreading and consolidation of botanical terminology and the Linné system.

It was especially important in the area of the mycology, containing descriptions of 393 out of 602 table mushrooms.

Significant species he described include the cep (Boletus edulis) and the common inkcap (Coprinopsis atramentaria).
