Great sighting.
Possibly Arcyria obvelata, but microscopic examination required to confirm this, as there are a few which 'look' similar.
Arcyria virescens can also appear the same; its capillitium leaves the calyculus much quicker than that of A. obvelata yet their spore and capillitial decorations are very different.
