Megasporoporia is a genus of four species of crust fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is characterized by its large spores, and dextrinoid skeletal hyphae.
Skeletocutis is a genus of about 40 species of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, although most species are found in the Northern Hemisphere. It causes a white rot in a diverse array of woody substrates, and the fruit bodies grow as a crust on the surface of the decaying wood. Sometimes the edges of the crust are turned outward to form rudimentary bracket-like caps.
Skeletocutis africana is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Described as new to science in 2006 by mycologists Leif Ryvarden and Peter Roberts, the fungus is found in Cameroon, where it grows on logs in tropical lowland rainforest environments. The type collection was made in Korup National Park, in South West Province.
Skeletocutis bicolor is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It is found in Singapore.
Skeletocutis borealis is a rare species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in northern Europe, it was described as new to science in 1998 by Finnish mycologist Tuomo Niemelä.
Skeletocutis brevispora is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It was described as new to science in 1998 by Finnish mycologist Tuomo Niemelä.
Haploporus thindii is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in China and India, it causes a white rot in woody substrates.
Haploporus cylindrosporus is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in China, it causes a white rot in decomposing angiosperm wood.
Skeletocutis luteolus is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It is found in southern and eastern China, where it causes white rot.
Skeletocutis azorica is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It has only been found in Portugal.
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. Rajchenberg and Alex David promoted the taxon to independent species status in 1992. The type specimen was collected in Puerto Esperanza, Misiones (Argentina), where it was found growing on Pinus taeda logs in a subtropical forest. 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, but the skeletal hyphae dissolve in solution of potassium hydroxide.
Skeletocutis yunnanensis is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae that was described as a new species in 2016. The type specimen was collected in northern Yunnan Province, southwestern China, where it was found growing on decaying angiosperm wood in a temperate forest.
Dichomitus eucalypti is a crust fungus that was described as a new species in 1985 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden. The fruit body of the fungus measures 1–2 cm in diameter, and has a white to pale cream pore surface with small round pores numbering 2–3 per millimetre. D. eucalypti has a dimitic hyphal structure, containing both generative and binding hyphae. Generative hyphae are thin walled with clamps, and measure 2.5–4 μm in diameter. Found in the context, the binding hyphae are solid, hyaline, and measure 2–5 μm. Spores are more or less cylindrical, thin-walled and hyaline, and have dimensions of 7–8.5 by 3–4 μm.
Haploporus septatus is a species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in China, it causes a white rot in decomposing angiosperm wood.
Haploporus latisporus is a species of poroid white rot crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It is found in Central China, where it grows on decomposing pine twigs.
Datroniella tropica is a species of crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in southwestern China, it was described as a new species in 2014 by mycologists Bao-Kai Cui, Hai J. Lee, and Yu-Cheng Dai, who placed it in the new genus Datroniella. The type collection was made in Tongbiguan Nature Reserve, where the fungus was found growing on a fallen angiosperm branch. The specific epithet tropica refers to its distribution in tropical China.
Grammothele bambusicola is a poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae that is found in Asia. It was described as new to science in 1984 by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden.
Skeletocutis nothofagi is a rare species of poroid crust fungus in the family Polyporaceae that is found in South America. It has been proposed for inclusion in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species due to its highly restricted distribution and rare occurrence.
Skeletocutis stramentica is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae that is found in New Zealand.
Dextrinoporus is a fungal genus in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscribed by mycologists Hai-Sheng Yuan and Wen-Min Qin in 2018 to contain the single poroid species Dextrinoporus aquaticus. This white-rot wood-decay fungus is found in southwestern China.
