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.
Measurements are presented on the photos

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. Â 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
