Dow Baxter
Dow Vauter Baxter (January 16, 1895 – December 31, 1965) was an American mycologist. He was an authority on wood-decay fungi, especially the polypores. Baxter was a professor of forest pathology at the University of Michigan, where he started employment in 1926.[1] The fungus Rhizopogon baxteri was named in Baxter's honor.[2]
He also published an illustrated account of fieldwork with two colleagues to study Alaskan forests and forest diseases.[3]
