Skeletocutis alutacea

Skeletocutis alutacea is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It was described as new to science in 1946 by American mycologist Josiah Lincoln Lowe as Poria alutacea.[5] Jean Keller transferred it to the genus Skeletocutis in 1979.[6] It is found in the United States and Canada, in Europe, and New Zealand, where it causes a white rot in various woody substrates.[7]
