Skeletocutis inflata is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in Guangdong, China, it was described as a new species in 2013 by mycologist Bao-Kai Cui. The fungus is characterized by having fruit bodies with caps, and small pores numbering 8โ€“10 per millimetre. Microscopically, it features inflated skeletal hyphae (after which it is named) that partially dissolve in a solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH). The skeletal hyphae in the trama are parallel along the tubes.[1]
