    It's likely to be in "Fungi of Switzerland: Ascomycetes" (Volume 1), especially since this series of books provide spore drawings and details.
    I may get to borrow this book again in a month or two, but hopefully someone on this list might have this book?
    cheers,

    These are great! The only yellow cups I'm familiar with are the Bisporella citrina and the Anthracobia melatoma. However? I don't think either of those is what you have here.

    Harri Harmaja suggested Cheilymenia theleboloides
    thank you very much for this goog track -
    I first had this in mind, but as theleboloides is said to have septed hyalin hair up to 50 µ on the external surface, which I could not see on my specimens, I thought it could be some other species in the Coprobia or Cheilymenia.

    I have some exsiccata and I shall look again after these hairs
