A quote from Prof Neil Gow of the University of Aberdeen, UK: “Professor Tony Trinci, one of the true greats in mycology, died earlier today [7 Oct 2020]. A gentleman, mentor to many, whose work framed our understanding of fungi multicellularity.“
Prof Trinci’s funeral will be held on Monday 26th at 13:00 (UK time) at Stockport Crematorium (Rowan Chapel). It is possible to remotely attend the funeral via a webcast – for further details please contact anaerobicfunginetwork@gmail.com
