Hi all
Could this be P. merdae?
Found on different herbs/grass on top of a hay bale from last year. In recent years, deer, fox and hare have been foraging on the fallow field. Fresh deer droppings around the hay bale.
Cluster-growing, edge unbroken, without stem, leathery brown, some with white felted/hairy underside. Most fruit bodies about 2 cm diam. Sparse uncolored juice. Hocky stick paraphyses with septa, longer than asci, 3.5 µm with expansion at the tip to 6-8.5 µm. Asci 8-sp., J+, approx. 250 x 13 µm. Spores with small warts, perhaps in slime sheet, (14)15-17 x (7)8-9 µm.
Thanks,
Karen P.

Re : Peziza merdae - Denmark
I don't know any collection of P. merdae on wild animals dung.
The spores seem more densely ornamented at the poles, so you may investigate P. moravecii
