Re : Sarcoscypha look-alike
Hoi Nico,
is it perhaps a Aleuria species?

Bad idea with smooth spores, I overlooked your note and looked at the waarneming

Re : Sarcoscypha look-alike
Hello
Are you sure about the spore ornamentation?
This looks very much like an Aleuria species, as said Stip.

Re : Sarcoscypha look-alike
Hello
I do not have my own photos of young aleuria but on linked pages, you can watch what immature spores of this species look like,

Young spores do not have ornamentation. Did you study free spores?

Re : Sarcoscypha look-alike
Thanks for all your replies. I must admit having looked at the spores only in 3% KOH (works fine for Cortinarius, my main occupancy...)
See attachment for a photo of spores in cotton blue (lactic acid); smooth.
BTW: I have one fruitbody as exsiccate here, about 30 mm diameter.
Greetings,
Nico
PS
The species my also be too red for an Aleuria.
