Skeletocutis amorpha is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae, and the type species of the genus Skeletocutis.
The fungus was first described as new to science in 1815 by Elias Magnus Fries as Polyporus amorphus. It has since acquired an extensive synonymy.[1] Czech mycologists František Kotlába and Zdeněk Pouzar transferred it to the genus Skeletocutis in 1958.[2]
