Most notably, he discovered several species of fungi throughout his life, including Tricholoma Peckii, Hygrophorus Peckianus, Puccinia curtipes, P. Peckianus, Microsphaera menispermi, M. platani and M. symphoricarpi, and two were named after him to commemorate his contributions to the field, Stropharia Howeanum Pk. and Hypoxylon Howeanum Pk.[1]
