Emilie, thank you very, very much! :))) it probably is Scutellinia scutellata (I checked the list of species we have in my country and this one is very common ). :)))

Fungus in the Pezizales order, possibly a Scutellinia sp., like Scutellinia scutellata, but there are many similar species. You would need a microscope to distinguish them. Nice spotting!
