Introduction
As a researcher and teacher, I work at the Botany Department of the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest since 2017. For veterinary students, I give botany lectures and practical lessons both in English and in Hungarian. I teach biologists (zoologists) for fungal taxonomy, fungal ecology, cladistics, and forest ecology. Since 2020, completely renewed, I restarted the optional (C) course “Identification of edible and poisonous fungi”, during which vets, biologists, and zoologists can acquire not only theoretical knowledge about species identification, but also a practical routine in using a light microscope. During this course, botany lectures for vets, and specified courses for certified mushroom harvesters performed by the Hungarian Mycological Society, I lecture mycotoxicology. – In my spare time, I go hiking, biking, junking and build my house.
Main research areas:
- Habitat mapping of macrofungal species protected by law (red listed) in Hungary within the area of the Őrség National Park and the Kőszegi Mountains.
- Reveal the environmental drivers of macrofungal species richness and species composition in managed, mixed forests of Őrség, West Hungary (PhD, Őrs-erdő project). Explore the environmental drivers of macrofungal sporocarp formation and substrate preference, as well as find relationships between the spatial distribution of sporocarps and the spatial pattern of tree individuals.
- In the project entitled „The amount of dead wood and its effect on biodiversity in the Hungarian Carpathians”, complete the field measurements of dead wood volumes in managed forest stands and studying the substrate and host tree preferences of wood-inhabiting polypores. Explore and compare the environmental drivers of wood-inhabiting polypore species composition in different habitats.
