Jules Favre (1882–1959) was an outstanding Swiss naturalist, who worked in many domains of science (geology, paleontology, zoology, botany, mycology) and left an important and interesting scientific legacy. This paper outlines his scientific life with particular regard to mycology, which was his most important area of research. He is considered to be a pioneer in alpine mycology and mycosociology.
