Preliminary literature and fungarium searches indicate this may be a new genus record for the state of New Mexico.
Substrate likely spruce or fir, but aspen cannot be ruled out. Substrate also shared by another Dasyscyphus-/Lachnellula-like discomycete, photos and micrographs of which are forthcoming.
Stage micrometer was recently lost, and so sadly I have no measurements at this time.

Re : lignicolous Brunnipila sp. in high-elevation mixed conifer/aspen forest
Yes, this looks like Brunnipila, possibly B. calyculiformis. The asci should have croziers in that species.
The wood looks like an angiosperm, but that is easily seen in a cross-cut.

thank you Zotto. at my next opportunity, I will photograph the substrate in section and search for croziers.
