Skeletocutis subvulgaris is a species of poroid, white rot fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in China, it was described as a new species in 1998 by mycologist Yu-Chen Dai. It was named for its resemblance to . The type collection was made in Hongqi District, Jilin Province, where it was found growing on the rotting wood of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis).[1]
Description[]
The fungus has a soft, thin, crust-like fruit body forming strips that measure 3–6 cm (1.2–2.4 in) long by 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) wide; these strips are sometimes joined to make larger patches. The pore surface is whitish with small pores numbering 6–8 per millimetre. S. subvulgaris has a dimitic hyphal system. Some of the hyphae of the dissepiment edges (the tissue between the pores) is encrusted with spiny crystals. The skeletal hyphae have a distinct lumen, which helps distinguish this species from the similar S. vulgaris. Spores of S. subvulgaris are roughly cylindrical, thin walled and hyaline, and measure 3.1–4.1 by 1.1–1.6 μm.[1]
