Hyaloscypha leuconica A Tiny Ascomycete Fungus

I am fairly sure of the genus, less so of the species, but I may get confirmation from an expert soon. This was on a piece of rotten wood in a dense colony, which i initially though was an alga. These nest-like fruiting bodies are something like 0.5mm across (the largest ones)

I had not seen this genus before.

I took only location shots, handing on the material for a second opinion.

The stereo is crosseye.
