Skeletocutis substellae

Skeletocutis substellae is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in China, it was described as new to science in 2011 by mycologist Yu-Cheng Dai. The holotype specimen was collected in Hainan, was it was found growing on the rotting wood of Dacrydium elatum. Spores of the fungus are allantoid, translucent, thin-walled, and smooth, typically measuring 2.8–3.5 by 0.7–1 μm. S. substellae was named for its similarity to S. stellae. Differences from this latter fungus include swollen skeletal hyphae when mounted in a solution of potassium hydroxide, and smaller spores.
