description: "Cecil Terence Ingold CMG was \"one of the most influential mycologists of the twentieth century\". He was president of the British Mycological Society where he organised the first international congress of mycologists. A group of aquatic fungi, most within the Helotiales, the Ingoldian fungi, were named after him. This group is of asexually reproducing fungi found in rivers and streams. Most of the names in this group are for an asexual stage in fungi where the sexual part of the cycle is not know, so recent DNA studies are changing many of the scientific names."
