Jean Louis Émile Boudier

Jean Louis Émile Boudier was a pharmacist who lived in Montmorency, France. He published a fair amount about the Discomycetes and other areas of mycology. He often used Émile as his first name.
He received his education at the École de Pharmacie de Paris, and in 1853, established a pharmacy in Enghien-les-Bains. He then became manager of his father's pharmacy, where he worked for many years. In 1878, he retired as a pharmacist in order to devote his time to scientific research.
He was a founding member of the Société mycologique de France and an honorary member of the British Mycological Society.
He named several species including Amanita franchetii, Disciotis venosa, Ptychoverpa bohemica, and Trichoglossum hirsutum.
In 1897, botanist Pier Andrea Saccardo Sacc. published Boudierella which is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae and named in Jean Louis Émile Boudier's honor.
