Johann Stangl
Johann Stangl (born July 3, 1923 in Augsburg , † May 9, 1988 ibid) was a German mycologist . His botanical-mycological author's abbreviation is " Stangl ".
Life
Johann Stangl completed an apprenticeship as a locksmith from 1937 to 1940 and was then a soldier until he was wounded in 1944, which resulted in a permanent handicap. From 1946 he worked at Stadtwerke Augsburg, initially as a technical draftsman and was most recently operations inspector until his retirement in 1983.
plant
In addition to his professional activity, Stangl was a recognized mycologist, where he acquired his knowledge of mushrooms on an autodidactic basis. Stangl's specialty was large mushrooms with a focus on the genus Inocybe . In addition to studies of different areas of mushroom flora, he also worked on the systematics of this genus, delimiting and taxonomically clarifying a number of species and describing and naming a number of clans for the first time. With his work, Stangl became an internationally recognized mycologist, after whom a number of mushrooms were named, such as Inocybe stangliana , Squamanita stangliana or Coprinus stanglianus , and to whom renowned mycologists such as Hanns Kreisel , Bruno Cetto and Rolf Singer have dedicated contributions. His publications abroad, for example in the Czech journal of mycology, are evidence of his international recognition.
Stangl not only collected the mushrooms and determined them microscopically, but also provided them with microscopic drawings and watercolors. Another achievement by Stangl is the revision of the herbarium by Max Britzelmayr , who worked on the mycoflora in the Augsburg area in the 19th century.
His documents are kept in the Munich State Herbarium and form an important part of the collections there.
Publications
In addition to 40 smaller publications, his publication Die Gattung Inocybe in Bayern from 1989 can be described as his main work.
