William Clark Denison (June 1, 1928 – April 8, 2005) was an American mycologist. Born in Rochester, New York, Denison attended Oberlin College, from which he earned a B.A. degree in 1950, and a Master's degree in 1952. Under the supervision of Richard Korf, Denison completed a PhD from Cornell University in 1956 on the ascomycete genus Scutellinia. He accepted a position as associate professor in the department of botany and plant pathologyatOregon State University in 1966, simultaneously becoming curator of the mycological herbarium. He retired from Oregon State University in 1993.[1] He was described as "a pioneer in the use of lichens to monitor air quality in the United States".[2]
