Cecil Terence Ingold (1905-2010)

摘要

Terence Ingold, one of the most influential mycologists of the twentieth century, died in Northumberland, UK, on 31 May at the inspiring age of 104. His researches spanned more than 70 years, and there have been few, if any, individuals who have made a more significant impact on the appreciation of fungi by the wider scientific community. In the 1930s he discovered a ubiquitous but previously overlooked group of aquatic fungi, later called the Ingoldian hyphomycetes. But he is probably better known for his lifelong interest in mechanisms of spore dispersal.
