Richard Korf is an important gure in the study of discomycetes. His contribution as teacher and scholar in relationship to Boudier{\textquoteright}s masterwork, the\ Icones Mycologicae, is commented upon particularly in regard to the classi cations used for the\ Pezizaceae. Although it has been common practice to recognize a single genus\ Peziza\ for most of the species in the\ Pezizaceae, molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the genus\ Peziza\ is diverse and is not monophyletic. Boudier{\textquoteright}s classi cation shows a more accurate pic- ture of the diversity within the family than later classi cations. Comments on the\ Icones\ and Cooke{\textquoteright}s\ Myco- graphia\ are included as they relate to graduate training and opportunities o ered by Richard Korf in his long career as a teacher.
