The species was first described scientifically by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1859 as Agaricus ravenelii.
First described in 1860 by Berkeley and Curtis, the species was collected four years earlier during an exploring and surveying expedition.

The specimen was sent by American mycologist Moses Ashley Curtis to his British colleague Miles Joseph Berkeley, who published a brief description of the species in 1860, calling it Agaricus californiensis, in what was then the subgenus Mycena.
Although the first specimen was originally collected in New England in 1856 by Charles James Sprague, a formal scientific description was not published until 1872 when Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis called it Boletus spraguei.
Petalonema alatum is a cyanobacterium (cyanophyte, cyanoprokaryote) described and drawn first time by the Scottish author Dugald Carmichael under the taxonomic name Oscillatoria allata in the book of Scottish cryptogamic flora edited by Greville in 1826 and later published under the still valid name Petalonema alatum by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1833.
