Maybe Cyathus striatus because of the shaggy outside of the cups and the striated interior.

No problem! I hope that helps! You may or may not not be able to get a species level ID as all of the "eggs" have already dispersed!

This is a type of Bird's nest fungus. Look at the Nidulariaceae family! They are awesome!
