Heroes of the Renaissance: Galileo Galilei, one of the giants of physics, who holds the simple telescope he used to discover the moons of Jupiter and Pier Antonio Micheli, a botanist who is considered the father of mycology. Micheli was the first (and for a long time the only) person to attempt scientific study of fungi. He did studies 'sowing' fungal spores on a medium, and showing that the same kind of fungus grew there (this in opposition to the idea of spontaneous generation). And he also did very nice microscopic work distinguishing very tiny genera.
