John Webster (mycologist) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Webster (mycologist)
John Webster (25 May 1925 – 27 December 2014) was an internationally renowned mycologist, Head of Biological Sciences at the University of Exeter in England, and twice President of the British Mycological Society. He is recognised for determining the physiological mechanism underpinning fungal spore release, though is probably best known by students of mycology for his influential textbook, ''Introduction to Fungi''. == Early life == Born in Kirkby-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, John Webster, along with his twin brother, was the youngest of four children. He studied for his degree at the University of Nottingham between 1943 to 1945. After gaining a first class honours degree, he moved to Hull University in 1946 to become assistant lecturer. There he married his wife, Brom, in 1950. They had two children. He then went to the University of Sheffield to embark on his PhD (on the microfungi associated with the grass ''Dactylis glomerata''), which he completed in 1954. He was subsequently appointed as Senior Lecturer, and ultimately Reader, in A. R. Clapham’s Botany Department there. In 1969 he was appointed Professor and Head of Department in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Exeter, where he remained until his retirement in 1990. Webster's early interests centred on the study of fungi on grasses, though by the 1970s he focussed his attentions on aquatic hyphomycetes.
