Samuel Paul Wiltshire (13 March 1891, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset – 13 May 1967) was an English mycologist and phytopathologist.
[1][2] He studied at the University of Bristol and Emmanuel College, Cambridge,[1] where he graduated with an M.A.
In 1919 he returned as a mycologist employed by the Long Ashton Research Station and for a few years investigated fruit tree diseases caused by the apple and pear scab fungi.
The abstracts provide coverage of the world literature on plant diseases.
He also initiated a second abstracting journal, the Review of Medical and Veterinary Mycology, the Index of Fungi (listing new names proposed for genera and species of fungi), and an annual (later semiannual) Bibliography of Systematic Mycology.
