Meinhard Michael Moser (born March 13, 1924 in Innsbruck ; † September 30, 2002 ibid) was an Austrian mycologist who also made great contributions as a forest scientist . His botanical-mycological author's abbreviation is " MMMoser ".

biography

Supported by his grandfather, the botanist Emil Heinricher , Meinhard Moser studied botany , zoology and chemistry at the University of Innsbruck and received his doctorate , interrupted by the Second World War and two years of imprisonment , in 1950 with the dissertation on the water ecology of higher fungi , with special emphasis on Forest fire areas .

In 1952 he took over a research position at the Federal Forest Research Institute in Imst , Tyrol, which he held until 1968. During this time, Moser implemented the knowledge he had acquired in Oxford about mushroom symbionts in pioneering work on the reforestation of highlands. The methods he developed at that time for inoculating trees with ectotrophic mycorrhizal fungi are now standard in forestry practice worldwide . He set new standards for their determination in German-speaking countries: In 1953, the first edition of "Moser", the determination book Die Blätter- und Bauchpilze (Agaricales and Gastromycetes) , which is still a standard work in German-speaking countries for determining these groups of fungi ( last new edition 1983). It is part of the important scientific reference work Small Cryptogam Flora , founded by the botanist Helmut Gams .

Moser completed his habilitation in plant microbiology in 1956 and held lectures on mycology and microbiology at the Institute for Botany at the University of Innsbruck. In 1964 he was awarded the title of Associate University Professor . Due to the increasing importance of his subjects and the activities of Moser, the Faculty of Natural Sciences recommended the Federal Ministry of Education in 1966 to set up a new chair for microbiology at the Institute of Botany; the establishment took place in January 1967. In 1968 Moser was appointed full university professor and remained so until his retirement in 1991. Meinhard Moser was a recognized expert in the field of hair veils ( Cortinarius ).

From 1981 until his death, Meinhard Moser was Director of the Research Center for Mediterranean Flora in Borgo Val di Taro ( (PR) , Italy). The community thanked him by naming a road that leads to his favorite forest (Stabielle) after him.

Honors

In addition, 22 species ( moseri , moserianus or meinhardii ) and two genera ( Moserella and Chromosera ) were named after Meinhard Michael Moser .
