Description of the research topic:
Hungary is one of the European countries with higher biodiversity in wild mushrooms. More than 3000 mushrooms are indigenous to Hungary, but to date, however, there has been little scientific study of these mushrooms in terms of their potential pharmacological benefits. According to our preliminary research some fungal species exhibited antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and antiproliferative activity against tumour cells, which could be promising candidates for more detailed future studies.
