Scutellinia scutellata

I have never noticed this small cup fungus before. With help from local fungi enthusiast Kitty LaBounty, I learned the identification. The common name seems apt. Although the main photo makes it look like the fungus is growing out of the gravel, it’s probably growing from a piece of buried wood, as I saw other cups close by on a nearly buried piece of wood.
