He graduated from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and joined the staff of the British Museum of Natural History in 1910. From 1917 to 1919, he served in Salonika, first as a civilian protozoologist, then as captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps.[1] He was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the 1919 New Year Honours, "for valuable services rendered in connection with Military Operations in Salonika,"[2] and later appointed an Officer of the Order. From 1929 to 1950, he was Keeper of Botany at the British Museum. He served as general secretary and twice as president of the British Mycological Society, and was long editor of its Transactions. He was president of the Quekett Microscopical Club from 1928 to 1931 and was elected an Honorary Member in 1937. He was president of the Linnean Society from 1937 to 1940 and was awarded their Linnean Medal in 1965. Ramsbottom was President of the Society for the History of Natural History from 1943-1972. He was made an Honorary Member in 1972. LegacyDr Ramsbottom made a bequest to the Society in his will and it was decided to utilise this to establish The Ramsbottom Lecture, to be given at the Society’s International Meetings, the first being delivered in April 1976. WorksRamsbottom had a lively style both in his lectures and in his writing, which spanned both popular and technical publications. He could write: {{quote|In reading the old accounts one finds a strange mixture of fact and fantasy. Some are so fantastic that if they had not been accepted by other authors they would not find a place in even a most detailed historical summary. Then there comes an observation of such merit that all seems set for real progress. But these facts, even when accepted, are often misinterpreted, almost as if in a superfluity of naughtiness, and again there is confusion.| John Ramsbottom, Mushrooms & Toadstools, 1953, p. 17}}Notable among his published works are:
