No, Darwin knew nothing about Mendel's ideas and work. His, Darwin's, heritability concept was absolutely wrong. There is a legend that Darwin had a copy of Mendel's work in his desk but could not read German. The veracity of this story is often challenged.

Who was Darwin greatly influenced by while on the beagle?
Darwin was not really influenced while on the Beagle but 5 years after he returned to England he was influenced by Alfred Russel Wallace to finally publish his book (the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.) Darwin was afraid to publish his book because in his mind it took away a need for a God. His book challenged the religious and scientific communities. Wallace had come up with the same ideas by himself and was not afraid to share his theories. Darwin wanted to get credit for his work so he published his book and theories first.
