I have only one small and immature fruit body, so I use it very sparingly. Therefore there will be no complete micro documentation but only a few spore photos. Certainly, this species has not been microscoped yet, so I ask for suggestions that I should know which features to pay special attention to, of course, if it matures, because I keep it alive.
Found it on mosses contaminated with animal excrements.
As seen in the macro, it has hair.
The spores are clearly slightly roughened, at least some of the more mature ones. Ascus does not respond to iodine (lugol). Subhymenium turns blue.
On some spores I see apiculum, but I have not seen free spores so I am not sure.
The rest of the data to publish in a few days if the fruiting body matures.

Hello Myrec!
Maybe a Thecotheus even if you don't see any reaction to the asci, the latter not always being easy to observe but indeed it is better to wait for more maturity.

Re : Asco from moss?
Hello Mirek,
this is a Spooneromyces. I have no personal experience with the genus. S. velenovskyi ( = S. microsporus) is white and should grow on ground polluted with urine, but S. laeticolor can have an albinotic form too and the difference in spore size is rather small.
Have a nice day,
Viktorie

Hi.
Thank you both sincerely!
I asked about this species because I knew I hadn't microscoped any of its species yet.
S. velenovskyi seems to be the most likely. In a few days, when it matures, I will compare the microscopic features.
best regards
Mirek
