Along the margin of each tiny, orange apothecium there are well-spaced light brown hairs, which are thick-walled, septate and forked at their bases. On the right of the second image you see two such hairs, each about a fifth of a millimetre long. On the left of the second image you see a number of colourless, spore-filled asci and also numerous paraphyses, amongst which the asci nestle. The paraphyses are coloured, septate and swollen at their apices (up to about 10 micrometres wide). Species of Cheilymenia are mostly found on dung. These were growing on soil, amongst moss (mostly Funaria hygrometrica) in an area that had been burnt last year. In that same spot was the Pholiota that appears at Pholiota sp. (where I include a photo of the moss bed and immediate surrounds).
