I know that skeletal hyphae are unbranched and aseptate and binding hyphae are highly branched and aseptate, but what exactly defines skeletal-binding or skeleto-binding hyphae? How to differentiate between binding hyphae and skeletal-binding hyphae?
Providing some microphotographs would help a lot.

In contrast to a true binding hypha, which typically has tapering side branches growing from a main stalk, skeletal hyphae typically have an even diameter along most of their length. The family Ganoderma contains arboriform skeletal hyphae. They are unbranched for the first 200 metres before developing tree-like limbs.
