Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard

Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard (also Pierre Bulliard, 24 November 1752 Aubepierre-sur-Aube Haute-Marne – 26 September 1793 Paris) was a French physician and botanist.

Bulliard studied in Langres, afterwards in Clairvaux and in Paris. There he also practiced as a physician. He tutored the son of General (1686-1769).

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), the common inkcap (Coprinopsis atramentaria) and the poisonous livid pinkgill (Entoloma sinuatum)
