Skeletocutis diluta is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It was first described by Mario Rajchenberg in 1983 as a variety of Skeletocutis nivea. [1] Rajchenberg and Alex David promoted the taxon to independent species status in 1992. [2] The type specimen was collected in Puerto Esperanza, Misiones (Argentina), where it was found growing on Pinus taeda logs in a subtropical forest. [1] It has since been found in Gabon. Skeletocutis diluta has effused-reflexed fruit bodies, meaning they are crust-like with a margin that is extended and bent backwards. It has small allantoid (sausage-shaped) spores measuring 3.1–3.5 by 0.5–0.8 μm. It features a dimitic hyphal system (containing both generative and skeletal hyphae), but the skeletal hyphae dissolve in solution of potassium hydroxide. [2]
