Found on horse dung.
Sporehead has one septe and the pedicel has three septa.
On top of the asci there was an extension which I did not recognize.

Re : Cercophora mirabilis or arenicola?
"arenicola" means "inhabitant of, residing on sand" in Latin

Cercophora mirabilis is known for its distinct neck cells on the neck of the ascomata.  Crush the neck and you may find them.

Re : Cercophora mirabilis or arenicola?
I finally found a fruitbody with mature spores in my opinion all items point to C. mirabilis.
The neck is covered with agglutinated cells.
Asci: not measured
Non-matured spores: 61.5-70x4.5-5 um containing > 20 oildrops (small and large), also covered with Phialides
Sporeheads: at first ellipsodial and finally lemon shaped at maturity 19-22.5x11-12 um.
Pedicel: 35-53x4.5-6.5 um; 3 septae
