I have seen cup fungi of this general design a few times in many decades of looking for fungi. They are supposed to be common! These were found in local woodland on Sunday. For their biology and lifestyle see:

These individuals were about 10mm high and 7mm diameter.

EM-1, Kiron 105mm f16 twin TTL flash, hand-held.
