Guepiniopsis chrysocoma has initially pillow-shaped, later cylindrical, at the tip plate-shaped or cup-shaped indented fruiting bodies with a firm, gelatinous texture and a height of 2 to 5 mm. Their diameter is 1-4 mm. The structures grow out of the substrate in tufts and have a root-like mycelial stalk . The color of the fruiting bodies ranges from yellow to yellow-orange. The fruit layer is limited to the inside of the cups.
Microscopic features
The hyphae of Guepiniopsis chrysocoma have thickened walls and buckles . The spores are 16–28 × 8–10 μm in size and, when ripe, are divided by 3–8 transverse septa , more rarely also by a few longitudinal septa.
