Harvey Willson Harkness (May 25, 1821 – July 10, 1901) was an American mycologist and natural historian best known for his early descriptions of California fungal species. Born and raised in Massachusetts and trained as a physician, Harkness came to California during the Gold Rush in 1849. He first set up a medical practice in the mining camp at Bidwell's Bar but moved to Sacramento in 1851. He rose to prominence as physician, educator, real estate developer, and newspaper editor in Sacramento, becoming part of the social circle of early California notables such as Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, Collis Huntington, and Mark Hopkins. His active interest in school education led to his election as the first president of the Sacramento board of education in 1853. Harkness was a participant i

  • Harvey Willson Harkness (25 de mayo de 1821 – 10 de julio de 1901) fue un médico, micólogo naturalista estadounidense, conocido por sus primeras descripciones de especies fúngicas de California. Aborigen y criado en Massachusetts, y se capacitó en la medicina, Harkness fue a California durante la fiebre del oro en 1849. Alcanzó la prominencia como médico, educador, promotor inmobiliario, y editor de periódicos en Sacramento, pasando a formar parte del comienzo de los círculos sociales de California, como Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, , , etc. Harkness participó en la ceremonia de finalización del Primer FF.CC. Transcontinental, representando a California y empuñó el bastón que fue impulsado por Leland Stanford, y marcó la terminación del ferrocarril.​ Después de haber ganado una gran fortuna en bienes raíces en Sacramento, Harkness se retiró su práctica médica en 1869 y se trasladó a San Francisco. Allí, se unió a la facultad de la Academia de Ciencias de California, convirtiéndose en su presidente desde 1887 a 1896. Se dedicó a la investigación sobre la historia natural de los Estados del pacífico, publicando artículos sobre la edad de los Conocs volcánicos de Lassen Cinder​ y la naturaleza de los fósiles descubiertos cerca de unas huellas de Carson City, Nevada.​ La mayor parte de su investigación se dedicó al catálogo de los hongos no descritas anteriormente, de California. En los últimos 30 años de su vida, Harkness fue autor o coautor de una serie de documentos sobre los hongos de California, que van desde simples listas de especies a una monografía detallada de hongos hipogeos de California.

  • Harvey Willson Harkness (May 25, 1821 – July 10, 1901) was an American mycologist and natural historian best known for his early descriptions of California fungal species. Born and raised in Massachusetts and trained as a physician, Harkness came to California during the Gold Rush in 1849. He first set up a medical practice in the mining camp at Bidwell's Bar but moved to Sacramento in 1851. He rose to prominence as physician, educator, real estate developer, and newspaper editor in Sacramento, becoming part of the social circle of early California notables such as Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, Collis Huntington, and Mark Hopkins. His active interest in school education led to his election as the first president of the Sacramento board of education in 1853. Harkness was a participant in the ceremony in May 1869 that marked the completion of the First transcontinental railroad, representing California and bearing the Golden Spike that was driven in by Leland Stanford marking the completion of the railroad. Having earned a large fortune in Sacramento real estate, Harkness retired from his medical practice in 1869 and relocated to San Francisco. There, he was elected a member of the California Academy of Sciences in 1871, becoming vice president in 1878 and its president from 1887 to 1896. He became the Academy's curator of fungi in 1896. He devoted himself to research into the natural history of the Pacific States, publishing articles on the age of the Lassen Cinder Cone and the nature of the fossil footprints discovered near Carson City, Nevada. He also travelled, visiting North Africa, Europe and the eastern USA several times. In November 1869 he was a guest at the opening of the Suez canal in Egypt. The bulk of his research was devoted to cataloging the previously undescribed fungi of California. In the last 30 years of his life, Harkness authored or coauthored a number of papers and books on California fungi (especially truffles), ranging from simple species lists to a detailed monograph of California hypogeous fungi. These included the important early work co-authored with Justin P. Moore in 1880, Catalogue of the Pacific Coast Fungi (published by the California Academy of Sciences). He collected, exchanged or purchased over 10,000 specimens of fungi that were donated to the California Academy of Sciences in 1891. The collection contained many type specimens. (en)
