Sarcoscypha parasite?

A collegue came across a group of what turned out to be Sarcoscypha austriaca but some of the fruit bodies had small orange growths. They had spherical spiny spores. Has anyone come across this species so could give us a lead as to what they might be.ThanksMal

Re : Sarcoscypha parasite?
Hypomyces anamorphs can have similar spores.

Re : Sarcoscypha parasite?
Never seen that. Would be good to make a section and clarify how these spores are formed.

Does this help at all.

Re : Sarcoscypha parasite?
really strange. But how the spores are formed is not clear. Are they certainly conidia?

Re : Sarcoscypha parasite?
I managed to get a sample of this but there is no sign of asci (or basidia). The first photo is of the outer elements of the "fruit body" and the second take from the centre. I don't think it will be possible to take it any further but thanks for your thoughts.

Re : Sarcoscypha parasite?
In my opinion this is a place, where the hymenium was damaged by a mite, fly, Collembola or something else.
In this case fungus can try to recovery producing excipulum-type cells, even hairs.
But why there was Hypomyces-like conidia? No idea. Contamination?

Re : Sarcoscypha parasite?
I think the long, hairy thing in the middle of the last pic looks like a part of some bug.
