This fungus is a nusiance species, and it has been found growing on red cedar despite previous treatments of the wood. Red cedar is used in construction of roofs and siding for homes, and this species can create a pesky issue for homeowners. Other species in the genusGuepiniopsishave also been found to exhibit the same wood growing characteristic. As the structure of the mushroom itself is so small, it is not likely that this species has been ingested for nutrition, although it is believed to be non- poisonous. Since this fungus has little known properties and uses to humans, it has the ability to become a future research topic for many mycologists and ethnomycologists.
Guepiniopsis alpinais saprotrophic, obtaining its energy from the decaying wood that it lives on, although it can also be found on live conifers in a commensal relationship. This species tends to be found in clusters on stumps and logs. The fruiting body (the visible part of the fungi), tends to reproduce in the early spring, after the last snowfall has melted for the season. Geographically, the Jelly can be found throughout North America, namely in Washington, Utah, Idaho, and Colorado, as it becomes more common as altitude increases. Guepiniopsis alpinahas also been found in Eurasia, including Norway, Sweden, Austria, and Iran (also at higher elevations).
Guepiniopsis alpinavaries in an orange color that is dependent on the age of the fungus and the climate (wet vs. dry). An immature fruiting body may be bright yellow or orange, turning into a deep orange or red as it matures. This mushroom is small in size, typically less than 5 cm across the cap. The cap is shaped like a cup, with a lateral stalk that attaches to its substrate. The spore print is usually white, cream, or creamy yellow.
The flesh is jelly like, or gelatinous, and the basidiocarp (where spores are made) is similar in shape to a tuning fork, which holds true for all the species in the family Dacrymycetideae. Each basidiocarp holds 4-5 spores that are cylindrical, or allantoid, in shape. This species can be hard to identify next to a similar looking group, althoiugh subtle differences in spore size can be the distinguishing factor throughout the family.
Guepiniopsis alpina, also known as the Orange Jelly or Alpine Jelly Cone, was discovered in 1901 by Tracy and Earle in Southwestern Colorado. This species belongs to the phylum Basidiomycota, in the family Dacrymycetideae. Morphologically they are hard to miss, as they are bright orange in color and are typically found in clusters along decaying branches or stumps. Their flesh is gelatinous with 4-5 allantoid spores in each fork shaped basiocarp, a distinguishing factor from similar species. This saprotrophic species has been found throughout North America and Europe, and can be seen on various decaying conifers. As this species is so small, measuring less than 5 cm per cap, there has been little research on the edibility.
Guepiniopsis alpina belongs to the phylum Basidiomycota, and the family Dacrymycetideae. The fungus is synonymous withGuepinia alpine,and Heterotextus alipinus. It is commonly known as the Orange Jelly, the Alpine Jelly Cone, and the Poor Man's Gumdrop. This species was first found by Samuel Mills Tracy and Franklin Sumner Earle in 1901. The specimen they originally discovered was found in Southwestern Colorado, growing on a piece ofPiceaEngelmanni, commonly known as the Engelmann Spruce. This species was found along anothe rspecies that is morphologically very similar,Guepiniopsis monticola.
Guepiniopsis alpina, commonly known as the jelly cup, alpine jelly cone, or poor man's gumdrop, is a species of fungus in the family Dacrymycetaceae. The small, gelatinous Fruit bodies are orange and cone or cup shaped. Found in western North America and Iran, the fungus grows on decaying conifer wood.
The fungus was first described in 1901 by Samuel Mills Tracy and Franklin Sumner Earle under the name Guepinia alpina in 1901.[2] It was later transferred to Heterotextus in 1932,[3] and then to Guepiniopsis in 1938.[4]
It is commonly known as the "jelly cup",[5] "alpine jelly cone", or "poor man's gumdrop".[6]
The fruit bodies are cone-shaped, measuring up to 1.5 cm (5⁄8 in) in diameter, and hang from a narrow attachment to the substrate. They are bright yellow to orange, with a gelatinous texture and a smooth and sticky surface on top, but have external hairs.[7] Dried fruit bodies deepen to reddish-orange and become hard.[8] Basidiospores are produced on the inner surface of the cup. In mass, the spores are yellowish. They are sausage shaped, measure 11–18 by 4–6 µm, and have three or four septa. Like all members of the Dacrymycetes, the basidia are Y-shaped.[6]
The edibility of G. alpina is unknown, but it is too small to be considered for the table.[8] It has been claimed to be edible, but tastes bland at best.[9] One guide classifies it as inedible.[10]
Species with which G. alpina could be confused include Bisporella citrina, Dacrymyces capitatus, and D. stillatus.[8] Guepiniopsis chrysocomus is a related species with a somewhat similar appearance. It has a yellow fruit body, larger spores, and uses rotting hardwood as a substrate.[6]
The fruit bodies grow scattered, in groups, or clusters on decaying, bark-free conifer wood. A snowbank fungus, it is most common at higher elevations after snowmelt in the spring. It is found in North America west of the Rocky Mountains.[8] In 2010, it was recorded for the first time in Iran.[11]

Vårplätt (Guepiniopsis alpina, syn. Heterotextus alpinus) är en svamp som växer på blottad ved på nedfallna, döda kvistar eller grenar och stubbar av barrträd, främst tall.
De gula till orangegula, knapplika eller skålformade fruktkropparna uppträder under vår och försommar, ofta tätt tillsammans. De har en bredd på 3 till 10 millimeter och en höjd på 2 till 7 millimeter.

高山膠盤耳（學名：Guepiniopsis alpina）是花耳科膠盤耳屬的一種真菌，有「窮人的橡皮糖」（poor man's gumdrop）之稱[2]，其子實體呈膠質，橘色，形狀為錐狀或杯狀，多在腐木上生長。
高山膠盤耳最早於1901年由美國植物學家薩繆爾·米斯·特拉西（英语：Samuel Mills Tracy）與真菌學家富蘭克林·薩姆納·厄爾（英语：Franklin Sumner Earle）發表，當時被歸入鹿角蕈屬（英语：Guepinia）[3]，其種小名alpina意指高山[4]。1932年改歸入Heterotextus屬[5]，1938年又改歸入膠盤耳屬（Guepiniopsis，是Heterotextus的異名[6]）[7]。
高山膠盤耳的子實體為錐狀或杯狀，直徑約1.5公分，以一狹窄的接點與基質相連，其顏色為亮黃色至橘色，表面呈膠狀、光滑且有黏性，乾燥後顏色會轉為橘紅色，質地也會變硬。本種的可食性仍未知，但因體積過小，通常也不被拿來食用。子實體的內側表面可產生擔孢子，孢子印呈白色至黃色[4]，孢子呈香腸狀，長11-18微米，寬4-6微米，並有3-4個隔膜（英语：Septum）。其擔子與花耳綱其他物種一樣呈Y字形分叉[2]。本種亦具有扣子體[8]。
高山膠盤耳易與橘色小雙孢盤菌（英语：Bisporella citrina）、黄冠毛花耳（瑞典语：Dacrymyces chrysocomus）[2]、頭狀花耳與花耳等物種混淆[9]。有時精確的物種鑑別需仰賴顯微構造[4]。
高山膠盤耳是一種木材腐朽菌（英语：Wood-decay fungus），成群生長於針葉樹的腐木上[4]。另外本種也屬於雪地真菌（英语：snowbank fungus），常於高海拔地區融雪時出現。本種分布於北美洲落磯山脈以西地區[9]，2010年亦在伊朗被發現，是首個在伊朗發現的膠盤耳屬物種[8]。
