Close up of fairy cups emerging from moss and lichen

For #BlueskyArtShow on the theme of #Small : #FairyCups #Moss

I found these today in Anchorage and haven’t seen them before. They’re not in my new Alaska mushroom guide, but some online digging makes me think they’re violet fairy cups or purple jellydisc. Maybe Ascocoryne cylichnium?
