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 \u201cIdentification of edible and poisonous fungi\u201d, 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. \u2013 In my spare time, I go hiking, biking, junking and build my house.<\/p> <ul style=\"list-style-type: square\"> <li><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong>Main research areas:<\/strong><\/span><\/li> <\/ul> <ul> <li>Habitat mapping of macrofungal species protected by law (red listed) in Hungary within the area of the \u0150rs\u00e9g National Park and the K\u0151szegi Mountains.<\/li> <li>Reveal the environmental drivers of macrofungal species richness and species composition in managed, mixed forests of \u0150rs\u00e9g, West Hungary (PhD, \u0150rs-erd\u0151 project).
